In the years after the end of Roe v. Wade, more young adults are choosing sterilization, according to new research.
In the wake of the overturn of Roe vs. Wade, more young people than ever are opting for more permanent solutions to contraception according to new research published by the Journal of the American Medical Association last week. Since 2022 when Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization overturned existing federal protections for abortion enshrined by Roe, many states have gone on to restrict or completely ban access to abortion care.
The researchers also suggested that Dobbs may have led to an increased sense of urgency among individuals who were already interested in permanent contraception prior to the SCOTUS decision. “Findings from this research highlight the indirect effects of Dobbs on the reproductive autonomy of young people,” Dr. Jackie Ellison, lead study author from the University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health, told CNN.
