After Dobbs, miscarriage care looked different in states with abortion bans
A new study indicates that states with abortion bans are moving away from effective miscarriage treatment. This shift follows the Supreme Court's 2022 decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which ended constitutional protections for abortion. As a result, medication management for miscarriages has decreased in these states compared to those without such bans.
- ▪Around 1 million U.S. women experience early pregnancy loss each year.
- ▪States with abortion bans have shown a reduction in medication management for miscarriages.
- ▪The study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
