A brief description of our project
A brief description of our project
Since 1973, abortion was constitutionally protected and thus legal in the US until about 24 weeks of pregnancy in all states. However, in June 2022, the Supreme Court of the United States, through the Dobbs v. Jackson decision, established that constitutional protection did not apply to abortion. Thus, abortion has been restricted or has become illegal in some states (with exceptions), while it remains legal in other states. This major landmark decision resulted in substantial changes to abortion law and posed significant ongoing challenges for people seeking abortion. This project focuses specifically on understanding Latinx migrants’ perceptions, preferences, and experiences of home-based or pill-induced termination of pregnancy in the post-Dobbs environment in order to provide the best possible support in access and experiences to all.
