Reproductive Health Archives - Health Care Litigation Tracker

Access to safe, quality reproductive health services, including abortion care and contraceptive care, is in jeopardy by litigation and state laws aiming to limit where and when an individual can seek effective reproductive health care. This is particularly true since the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned the federal right to abortion established in Roe v. Wade and led to the current fragmented landscape of state reproductive health policies. The coverage and provision of safe and effective reproductive health services is essential to an individual’s health and well-being.
