In brief
This article examines how the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade may impact neonatal intensive care delivery beyond obstetric and women's health considerations. With most prenatal care occurring in the first trimester when majority of structural abnormalities are detected, changes in abortion access could significantly alter the landscape of neonatological practice and resource allocation.
Written by the GCMD Library team from the article.
Following the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision on overturning Roe v. Wade which ends the constitutional right to abortion, this decision may hugely impact the direction of neonatological care in many states in addition to widely discussed women's rights and obstetric care. In the National Vital Statistics report, 77.1% of women sought prenatal care during the first trimester of pregnancy in 2016 [1]. During the first trimester, up to 60% of high-risk fetal structural abnormalities could be detected through ultrasound screening [2].
