Abortions in One State Plummeted Almost Entirely After Dobbs

Last summer, the United States Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark court case in 1973 that legalized abortion in the United States. In the case Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, the court overturned this precedent. Dobbs was a lawsuit over a pro-life law in Mississippi, and the abortion clinic that brought the legal challenge has since closed down. Now, a new study shows that abortions in one conservative state have stopped almost entirely.
