The Implications of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs Judgment on Medical Training in the US

Frank Houghton, Mary Ann Keogh Hoss & Margo Hill

Abstract
The recent US Supreme Court judgement restricting abortion represents an assault upon all women, especially less privileged women. This judgement will result in a rise in maternal mortality, a figure that for the US is already a very public outlier and tragedy. This commentary focusses on the impact of the Dobbs judgement on medical training. The ripple effects of this judgement and subsequent legislation enacted in abortion restrictive States are far wider than many will have assumed.

Keywords: Medical Training; Abortion; Law; Gender Equity; Maternal Care.
