In June 2022 the United States Supreme Court passed what became known as 鈥榯he Dobbs decision鈥. In doing so they overturned the long standing constitutional right for women to access abortion in the US. Since then a number of states have banned abortion completely with many others having highly prohibitive rules. You鈥檇 expect the numbers of abortions to go down. They haven鈥檛. How is it possible that more people are accessing abortions in a post Dobbs society and why is it not true that states which have total bans have zero abortions per year?
