The end of Roe v. Wade in June 2022 has had a profound effect on maternal healthcare and abortion access across the country.

New data reveals an unexpected consequence of these developments: Young women, even those in states where abortion remains legal, say they are foregoing having children because they are afraid to get pregnant because of changes that followed the Dobbs decision that ended Roe.
