How state abortion bans are affecting doctors and how they practice

from PBS News Hour - Health · host PBS News

It's been four years since the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision opened the door to state abortion bans. Now, a new study finds those bans are hurting women who aren't seeking abortions at all. Researchers found delays in miscarriage treatment increase the risk to a woman's health and fertility and prolong the grief of a lost pregnancy. Special correspondent Sarah Varney reports.
