Public Health’s Role in a Post-Dobbs World—The New York City Abortion Access Hub

Abstract

(N Engl J Med. 388;21. doi: 10.1056/NEJMp2301278) The US court case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization removed the constitutional right to abortion. Currently, 13 states ban abortion with few exceptions, while other states have enacted certain restrictions around abortion. This, coupled with new legislation frequently being introduced that further restricts access to abortions, has made it very difficult for people searching for abortion information or services.
