The study revealed a significant rise in tubal ligations after the Dobbs decision, particularly in states with abortion bans, indicating a shift in women's reproductive choices.
In the aftermath of Roe v. Wade's overturn, tubal ligations rose by 3% monthly in banned states, reflecting concerns about available reproductive options post-abortion restrictions.
Researchers noted that many women chose sterilization due to fears of failed contraception, showcasing a broader trend towards permanent reproductive decisions following restrictive abortion policies.
Dr. Clayton Alfonso mentioned observing increased tubal ligations in his practice, especially as patients feared contraceptive failures amid changing abortion legislation.
