Two Years Post-Roe: Current State of Reproductive Rights in the US

Are you curious about reproductive rights in the US? Are you worried about access to IVF and medical treatment for your reproductive health?

On June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, not only eliminating the federal right to abortion care but threatening access to contraception, IVF, and many aspects of reproductive health. It’s been two years, so where are we now? 

In this episode of Baby or Bust, Dr. Shahine discusses the current state of reproductive rights in the US. She reviews exactly what lead to the Dobbs decision, why IVF stopped in Alabama for 3 weeks, and the resulting fallout of the overturn of Roe V Wade over the last 2 years.
