In anticipation of the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in the Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization case, the Society of Family Planning launched #WeCount, a time-limited, national abortion reporting effort. #WeCount collects monthly abortion volumes, by state, to document the changing abortion landscape as a result of the Dobbs ruling. In addition and as a companion to #WeCount data, the Society has supported the development of two other essential datasets:
- Post-Dobbs State Abortion Restrictions and Protections Database created and maintained by the Center for Public Health Law Research at Temple University. This longitudinal database captures all policy changes relevant to service delivery in a shifting post-Roe legal landscape
- Abortion Access Dashboard created and maintained by Caitlin Myers, PhD, an economist at Middlebury College, to describe the impact that abortion policy has on access by describing appointment availability and travel distance to the nearest clinic.
Central to this funding opportunity is the understanding that shifting abortion volume, clinical capacity, and/or legal status alone do not fully describe the implications of the Dobbs ruling and its cascading impact on the health and economic well-being of people with the capacity of pregnancy and their families. As such, proposed research must generate knowledge that contributes to a broader understanding of the impact of Dobbs and is positioned to produce empirical evidence with a clear, concrete, and strategic path to changes in clinical practice, public policy, and/or health service delivery.
