A study from the University of California Los Angeles suggests that in states with the most restrictive abortion bans, the rate of prescriptions for contraceptives significantly dropped following the Dobbs decision, potentially due to clinic closures and uncertainty around emergency contraceptives. The decrease in prescription rates was observed in various states with bans, raising concerns over limited access to contraception and misinformation about emergency contraceptives being considered abortion drugs. Regions with near-total bans experienced significant declines in emergency contraceptive prescriptions, indicating potential barriers to accessing crucial reproductive healthcare.
