Abstract:
In 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court revoked the federal protections for abortion in the decision Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization, leaving abortion laws up to the individual states. This decision exacerbated already present racial disparities in maternal health and health access. This thesis investigates the question: In the post-Dobbs United States, what are the factors that influence safe abortion access for Black women, and how can U.S. policymakers ensure the provision of these services?
