Abstract

A birth defect is a structural or chromosomal change present at birth that can affect almost any part or parts of the body. Birth defects can vary from mild to severe. On June 24, 2022, with its Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Organization decision the Supreme Court of the United States overturned Roe v. Wade, removing the longstanding landmark 1973 ruling that secured a person's constitutional right to an abortion. With this decision individual states can now decide their own abortion laws. In about one-half of the states that continue the legality of pregnancy termination, the process of offering, discussing, and performing terminations of pregnancy remain the same as previously. In states where abortions are not legal, there will be conflicts between the law and the ethical responsibility of physicians to offer and discuss termination of pregnancy for severe anomalies.

根据最高法院最近取消宪法规定的堕胎权的裁决，为严重胎儿异常终止妊娠的选择提供咨询

出生缺陷是指出生时出现的结构或染色体变化，几乎会影响身体的任何部位。出生缺陷从轻微到严重不等。2022年6月24日，美国最高法院在多布斯诉杰克逊妇女健康组织案中推翻了罗诉韦德案，推翻了1973年保障个人堕胎宪法权利的具有里程碑意义的长期裁决。有了这一决定，各州现在可以决定自己的堕胎法。在大约一半继续合法终止妊娠的州，提出、讨论和实施终止妊娠的过程与以前相同。在堕胎不合法的州，法律和医生为严重异常情况提供和讨论终止妊娠的道德责任之间会存在冲突。

Each topic-based issue is edited by an authority in their field and contains 8-10 articles. Seminars in Fetal & Neonatal Medicine provides: • Coverage of major developments in neonatal care; • Value to practising neonatologists, consultant and trainee pediatricians, obstetricians, midwives and fetal medicine specialists wishing to extend their knowledge in this field; • Up-to-date information in an attractive and relevant format.
