The Impact Of Dobbs On Rheumatology Practice, Greer Donley
Book Chapters
Soon after the Supreme Court issued Dobbs v.

Objectives: Since the US Supreme Court′s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion, states have enacted laws restricting access to abortion services.

State-level abortion laws included Medicaid funding restrictions, mandatory parental involvement, mandatory counseling, mandatory waiting period, and …
