How America’s Abortion Rate Increased After Roe v. Wade Overturned

What: Salon’s Amanda Marcotte reviews a book that examines how the Supreme Court brought down Roe–but didn’t come close to stopping abortion in America. 

Key Line: ‘There haven’t been hospitals filling up, as they did in the days before Roe v. Wade, with patients mutilated from botched abortions. It’s not because women have, en masse, given up and submitted to forced childbirth. On the contrary, the birth rate continues to decline while the abortion rate went up after the Dobbs decision.’
