Abortion is a frequent topic of policy debate in America and a central issue in politics since the Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Supreme Court decision. A number of states have completely or nearly completely banned abortion and criminalized health care providers. People seeking abortion care are turning to alternatives outside the formal health care system or traveling to states that have preserved access. Approximately half of US Obstetrics/Gynecology residents will train in a state where abortion is illegal, lending to a frightening future where Obstetrics/Gynecologists are not trained to provide this common, sometimes life-saving, health care.
