Segment 3 – A New Study Purportedly Shows an Increase in the Demand for Chemical Abortions
“On Monday morning, the Journal of the American Medical Association released a study. It purportedly shows a large increase in the demand for self-managed abortions outside formal medical settings after the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision in June 2022. The researchers obtained data on abortion medications from online telemedicine organizations, community networks, and online vendors. The purported increase in the amount of chemical pills ordered nearly offset the reported decline in the number of abortions performed in 2022. This JAMA study has already been covered the New York Times and the Washington Post.” Michael New joins us.
Michael New is a Senior Associate Scholar at the Charlotte Lozier Institute and Assistant Professor of Practice at the Catholic University of America.
