The Dobbs decision 'marks the first time in history that the Supreme Court has taken away a fundamental right.' The ruling shifts authority to regulate abortion to states, sparking fears of contraception restrictions.
Reproductive restrictions not only impact rights but also health outcomes, leading to increased infant and maternal mortality rates, anxiety, depression, and economic repercussions from forcing women out of the workforce.
The concern arises whether contraception could follow the same path as abortion, with potential devastating consequences. Restrictions on contraception may worsen health disparities and access issues for women in the United States.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists highlight the crucial benefits of contraception including health improvements, economic stability, and societal well-being, emphasizing its significance beyond mere birth control.
