The article discusses the aftermath of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization ruling, which overturned Roe v. Wade, leading to widespread abortion bans across the U.S. As of June 2025, 16 states impose total or near-total bans, creating significant access barriers, especially for people in the Southeast. The financial and logistical burdens for those seeking abortions have escalated, with an average cost of over $2,300 for traveling to obtain care. The ruling also criminalizes other pregnancy outcomes, further endangering individuals with miscarriages or stillbirths. This change has broad implications for reproductive rights and health.
Countries across the globe are facing alarming increases in abortion restrictions after the Dobbs ruling. The burden lies not only on those seeking abortions but extends to their support networks.
The shift in laws surrounding abortion in the U.S. following the Dobbs decision has led to dire consequences, impacting not just access to abortion but overall reproductive rights.
