Experiences of Obstetrician-Gynecologists Providing Pregnancy Care After <i>Dobbs</i>

In this qualitative study of OB-GYNs practicing in an abortion-restrictive state, threat of criminalization in post-Dobbs Wisconsin resulted in uncertainty and confusion for OB-GYNs and worse care for pregnant patients. The absence of clear guidance and support from institutional and health care system leadership emerged as a particularly salient missed opportunity. These experiences, which contribute to a critical evidence base on the harms of abortion restrictions, are relevant to states facing similar bans that criminalize or restrict health care.
