The Complex Landscape of Abortion Rights Post-Dobbs

Since the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade, the number of abortions in the U.S. has reportedly increased, primarily due to the rise of telehealth services. These services allow individuals to access abortion pills through virtual consultations, demonstrating how broader access to medication is reshaping the landscape of reproductive healthcare. Despite the anti-abortion movement's recent triumphs, including the repeal of federal protections, the use of telehealth has continued to facilitate an increase in abortions, especially in states with stricter laws. This paradox suggests that while anti-abortion advocates may feel emboldened, the fight is far from over, prompting them to develop new strategies to address this emerging trend.
