In 1973, the US Supreme Court recognized a woman’s right to make her own decisions about her pregnancy – resulting in what has become known as the Roe v. Wade case. This rule declared that restrictive state regulation of abortion is unconstitutional, making abortion services safer and more accessible for any woman who becomes pregnant. In June 2022, Roe v. Wade was overturned by the US Supreme Court.
Researchers warn that denying access to safe abortions will cause significant health consequences and that the deepest impacts will be borne disproportionately by women and families of color and those in a low-income bracket.
This Research Topic welcomes contributions that focus on the ethical, social, medical, and economic impact of the court’s decision on women’s health.
We welcome the following article types: Brief Research Report, Case Report, Community Case Study, Data Report, Editorial, General Commentary, Hypothesis & Theory, Methods, Mini Review, Opinion, Original Research, Perspective, Policy Brief, Policy and Practice Reviews, Review, Study Protocol, and Systematic Review.
