Heightened 'pregnancy-related mortality' since Roe v. Wade reversal worries doctors: report

Raw Story  

The U.S. maternal mortality rate has significantly increased since the Supreme Court of the United States overturn Roe v. Wade nearly one year ago, The New Republic reports. In December, Axios reports, President Joe Biden's administration announced "The Supreme Court's Dobbs decision to end the constitutional right to abortion has been 'devastating' to maternal health and widened gaps in care as the U.S. grapples with the highest maternal mortality rate among developed nations." According to Axios' report, in response to SCOTUS' decision, "The Biden administration released its plan to combat the U.S.' 'maternal health crisis,' including having states extend Medicaid postpartum coverage to one year, increase health provider training around maternal health, and diversify the maternal care workforce." Not only has the maternal mortality rate skyrocketed — Mattie Cittadino, with the Syracuse Law Review, wrote last year, "Roe has existed as a case solely dealing with abortion; however, following the Dobbs decision, Roe's implications on other non-abortion rights, such as same-sex marriage, same-sex sexual conduct, and contraception have become an increasing concern."
