TL;DR Summary
A new survey from KFF shows that 64% of OB-GYNs believe that the overturning of Roe v. Wade has led to more maternal deaths, with 70% saying it has worsened racial and ethnic inequities. The survey also found that 55% of OB-GYNs practicing where abortion is banned say their ability to practice within the standard of care has become worse. Additionally, the decision has impacted miscarriage care, with four in 10 OB-GYNs in restricted states saying they have faced constraints caring for patients experiencing miscarriages and other pregnancy-related emergencies.
