Description
Reproductive healthcare is essential care that includes family planning, assisted reproductive technologies, sexually transmitted infection (STI) screening and treatment, abortion access, and sexual health education. Unfortunately, reproductive healthcare and reproductive rights are often the subject of erosive litigation. This litigation limits individuals’ access to reproductive healthcare thereby inhibiting individuals’ ability to exert autonomy over their health. In June of 2022, the US Supreme Court ruled in favor of Dobbs in the case of Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization. This ruling effectively overturned the 1973 Roe v Wade decision and ended the protected right to access abortion care. After the Supreme Court decision, additional litigation at the state level has further restricted reproductive healthcare access. This study is intended to better understand how Southeast Michigan has been impacted.
