data found a significant drop in the number of med students pursuing OB/GYN residencies in states with strong abortion policies.

Dobbs was the deciding factor in choosing to practice medicine somewhere other than Oklahoma, which last year enacted the strictest abortion ban in the country.
The vast majority of procedures done in the second or third term “are medical emergencies, where either the fetus is no longer viable, and it is dangerous for the pregnant patient to continue carrying the pregnancy, or the pregnant patient is medically unstable, and it is dangerous to their long-term health or to their life,” Mermin-Bunnell said. “This happens terrifyingly often.”
