    June 24, 2023 marked one year since Dobbs v. Jackson, the Supreme Court decision that ruled that abortion is not guaranteed as a right by the U.S. Constitution. In the last year, abortion access has plummeted, with a number of states banning and criminalizing abortion care.

    In this webinar, presented by the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine's State Liaison Network, we look back at the last 12 months, diving into changes to abortion policy, how institutions have responded, and how folks have continued to fight for access to these critical services. We then look ahead at what is to come, including how to keep up the momentum in our advocacy efforts.
