What: An investigation from the congressional Democrats in charge of heath policy found OBGYNs “are seeing more pregnant patients with dangerous medical complications two-plus years after the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, while at the same time receiving less training as residents about how to perform abortions.” To get the information, Democrats interviewed leaders with 20 OBGYN residency programs.

Why it matters: “’I don’t think people realize how dire the situation has become so quickly,’ said Rep. Frank Pallone Jr., of New Jersey, the committee’s ranking Democrat. Several residency program directors interviewed for the report recalled dangerous, sometimes tragic, situations in states with abortion bans. One director described a patient who died from sepsis after she wasn’t able to get an abortion.”
