The Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision in June 2022 removed federal protections for the right to abortion, fundamentally changing the abortion landscape in the United States. Suzanne Bell, PhD, and Alison Gemmill, PhD, will discuss their current research generating first-of-its kind evidence on the unequal impact of recent abortion bans on fertility and infant mortality, both across and within states.
