This includes everything from contraception and comprehensive sex education, to abortion and pre-natal and pregnancy care, as well as other issues that inform a person’s full reproductive autonomy. This special collection brings together knowledge and insights from organizations addressing reproductive health related issues and explores the impact foundations and nonprofits are having on this work.

The State of Reproductive Health in the United States: The End of Roe and the Perilous Road Ahead for Women in the Dobbs Era

January 19, 2023

In June 2022, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization that nothing in the United States Constitution guarantees a women's right to abortion. Within six months of the decision, 15 states had banned abortion. More are anticipated to do so in the 2023 state legislative sessions that will commence this month.This study reports on the state of reproductive and sexual health in the United States during the final years of the Roe era. Gender Equity Policy Institute's "The State of Reproductive Health in the United States," analyzes data on key indicators such as teen births, maternal mortality, and newborn deaths, and compares trends between groups of states. Our objective in this inaugural report is to establish a baseline for future assessments of the effects of abortion bans on women's health and well-being in the coming years.
