"Rise in Permanent Contraception Among Young Adults Following Dobbs Decision"

A study found that since the overturning of Roe v. Wade in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case, there has been a significant increase in permanent contraception procedures, particularly tubal ligations, among young adults aged 18 to 30. The research highlights the indirect effects of the Dobbs decision on the reproductive autonomy of young people, with fears of restricted access to abortion and contraception likely driving the increase. Experts emphasize the importance of ensuring access to affordable, person-centered contraceptive care and supporting individuals in making informed decisions about permanent contraception.

"Study Shows 26,000 Increase in Self-Managed Abortions Post-Dobbs Decision"

A study published in JAMA found that self-managed abortions increased by over 26,000 in the six months following the U.S. Supreme Court's Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization ruling, which overturned the federal right to abortion. The study also revealed a surge in online orders of abortion pills, indicating that people in states with strict abortion bans have found ways to terminate pregnancies outside of formal healthcare settings. The upcoming Supreme Court case over the federal approval of mifepristone, one of the drugs used for medication abortions, could further impact access to abortion pills. Additionally, telehealth abortions have increased post-Dobbs, addressing unmet needs in states with abortion bans, while a report by the Guttmacher Institute showed that 63% of all clinician-provided abortions in the U.S. last year were medication abortions.

"Study: Over 64,000 Forced Pregnancies in States with Abortion Bans Since 2022"

A study led by Planned Parenthood Montana's medical director found that in 14 states with abortion bans triggered by the overturning of Roe v. Wade, an estimated 64,565 pregnancies were linked to rape, with the majority occurring in states without exceptions for terminating pregnancies in cases of rape. The study used historic data on nationwide incidents of vaginal rape and adjusted it to females aged 15-45, revealing that a significant proportion of these pregnancies occurred in Texas. The study's lead researcher expressed shock at the high number and emphasized the prevalence of sexual assault, while acknowledging the difficulty of obtaining accurate data on such experiences.

The Impact of Post-Roe Bans on Abortion Rates: A Quantitative Analysis

The first data on births since the overturning of Roe v. Wade reveals that abortion bans have led to an increase in births in every state with a ban. Researchers estimate that these laws have resulted in around 32,000 additional annual births, with one-fifth to one-fourth of women in ban states who may have sought an abortion carrying their pregnancies to term. The analysis also shows that the increase in births disproportionately affects women in their 20s, Black and Hispanic women, and those living in states with limited access to abortion clinics. The availability of online abortion pills from overseas vendors has played a role in some states. However, the data is preliminary, and further research is needed to fully understand the impact of the Dobbs decision on the fertility rate.

The Impact of Abortion Bans: 32,000 More US Births Annually

An analysis of birth data from states with abortion bans following the overturning of Roe v. Wade shows that births increased in every state with a ban, indicating that the bans have had their intended effect. Researchers estimate that the bans caused around 32,000 annual births, with one-fifth to one-fourth of women in ban states not obtaining abortions. The increase in births was disproportionately among women in their 20s and Black and Hispanic women, who may face greater barriers to travel. The availability of online abortion pills and the opening of new clinics in legal states have likely contributed to the steady or slightly increased number of legal abortions nationwide.

Surge in Abortion Rates Across the U.S. Following Dobbs and Roe Overturning

Abortions in Minnesota have increased by nearly 40% since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in the Dobbs decision last June. This is part of a nationwide trend, with 14 states banning abortion completely and two implementing strict six-week bans. While abortions have dropped in those states, they have increased in states where abortion remains widely available, suggesting that women in restrictive states are traveling out of state for abortion care. The total number of abortions nationwide was up by roughly 5% in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. Potential explanations for the increase include quicker access to abortion facilities, expanded telehealth capabilities, pro-choice fundraising, and legislation making it easier to obtain the procedure in abortion-friendly states like Minnesota.

Abortion Rates Vary Widely Across US States in Year After Dobbs

The first full-year census of U.S. abortion providers reveals that despite 14 states banning all abortions and seven imposing new limits, the total number of legal abortions in the United States increased slightly by about 0.2 percent. This increase was driven by the expansion of telemedicine for mail-order abortion pills, increased options and assistance for women who traveled, and a surge of publicity about ways to access abortions. While the response by abortion providers and activists resulted in more access to abortion in states where it's still legal, the bans and restrictions have had far-reaching effects, with many women resorting to methods outside the U.S. medical system or carrying their pregnancies to term.

Florida's Abortion Landscape One Year After Dobbs Decision

One year after the Dobbs decision, which overturned the constitutional right to abortion, blue states like California and New York saw some increases in the number of abortions, but their numbers were far eclipsed by Florida because it borders states with severe abortion restrictions. While Florida did little to support abortion care, California and New York invested tens of millions of dollars into the effort. Abortion providers in those coastal blue states expect significant investments made in reproductive health care in the wake of the ruling will have a greater impact in the coming years.

The Tim Scott Conundrum: Exploring His Presidential Aspirations and Stances on Abortion.

Republican Senator Tim Scott, who is considering a run for the White House, told WMUR that he would sign a 20-week federal abortion ban into law if elected president. He believes that the country needs a federal limit on how far it can go with abortions and that the issue should be left to the states to solve. Scott criticized Democrats for wanting to make abortion a federal issue into the third trimester, which he believes puts the US in the company of China and North Korea. The US Supreme Court's Dobbs decision in June 2022 made abortion access a state-by-state issue.
