States with abortion bans saw birth control prescriptions fall post-Dobbs, study finds

June 28, 2024 by Deborah

A primary reason for the trend, the study posits, is that abortion bans enacted after the Dobbs decision in June 2022 led abortion and family planning clinics in those states — facilities where many women accessed birth control prescriptions — to close. The new laws also created confusion over whether emergency contraceptives, including Plan B, remained legal in states with abortion bans, according to the study. (They are still legal in all 50 states.)
