Research consistently shows that abortion bans at any point in pregnancy harm pregnant people in need of care. This brief summarizes the evidence.

This brief presents emerging evidence that the June 2022 U.S. Supreme Court Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision, which overturned the federal right to abortion, may worsen access to obstetricians-gynecologists (ob-gyns) and other physicians. We also explain how poor access to pregnancy healthcare providers harms health and exacerbates health inequities.

In this brief, we document the evidence of impact of Wisconsin abortion laws, one by one. For each type of law, we explain what the law is, and then describe the research evidence on its impacts.
