An increase in maternal and neonatal deaths, the birth of more children with health problems, or a shortage of midwifery medical staff are some of the medium and long-term effects of abortion restrictions imposed in the US over the past year. .
One year after the end of federal abortion protection, after June 24, 2022, the country’s Supreme Court overturned the verdict”Rowe vs. Wade“There are no official data yet, but experts and various studies warn of what is observed and what is coming.
“Undoubtedly there will be more high risk pregnancy because many people terminate pregnancies because the fetus has some kind of complications, and due to the inability to have an abortion, it is likely that we will see the birth of children with special needs,” said a government spokesman for EFE. American College of Obstetricians and GynecologistsChristine Brandi.
It’s still too early to have data that shows a clear x-ray, but many doctors are already warning about what’s going on in places like Texaswhere the bans were in place long before the Dobbs decision ended Roe v. Wade, leaving it up to the states women’s reproductive health.
In 2021 Republican Governor Greg Abbott signed a law banning any kind of abortion (except when there is a risk to the life of the mother) after the detection of a fetal heartbeat, which usually occurs at six weeks, when many women do not know that they are pregnant.
The study warns of a very likely consequence: an increase in maternal morbidity and health problems as a result pregnant and give birth.
Team doctors analyzed cases of 28 patients who had complications before the 22nd week of pregnancy, most of them due to premature rupture of the membranes.
Before restrictions on abortionwomen who suffer from this condition, which always results in fetal loss, have been offered abortion, but now if there is a heartbeat fetusthey can’t in some states until their lives are in danger.
The study shows that 57% of patients had serious complications, compared with 33% for similar clinical circumstances reported in non-restrictive states.
In a report prepared on the basis of feedback from doctors, the organization A.promotion of new reproductive health standards documents the damage women bear and points out that post-2021 prohibition in Texas incidence rate in women with premature rupture of membranes.
The situation of women suffering ectopic pregnancy (outside the uterus), whose recommendation is always an urgent abortion due to serious complications and the risk of maternal death.
Given the situation in some restrictive states, many women are seeing their procedure being delayed exponentially increasing the risks to their health.
The organization also claims that there will be “long-term consequences” due to the delay and denial of assistance, such as loss of fertility and chronic pelvic pain due to infection or surgery, as well as mental health consequences.
Knowing about the health problems in women that these rules will bring, Institute for Gender Equality Policy presented a report in January in which he analyzes, with figures before the end of the Supreme Court ruling, aspects such as teenage pregnancymaternal mortality and neonatal mortality.
The study divides the country into states that support abortion and states that have restrictions or bans. In the latter, there are 29 in total, 59% of the country’s women and girls live.
Referring to Child mortalitychildren born in restrictive conditions are 30% more likely to die in the first month of life, while the birth rate among adolescents in restrictive conditions doubles.
These differences, the study indicates, could increase significantly after the adoption of new rules.
According to Dr. Amna Dermish, gynecologist obstetrician Planned Parenthoodlargest reproductive provider in the country, another medium-term challenge is “the ability to attract qualified doctors and health care providers to states with abortion restrictions.”
“Students don’t want to come here for OB/GYN courses,” he explains, “and I think we’re going to see some kind of brain drain in Texas and other states.”
An opinion shared by Dr. Brandi, who believes that in the next “five or ten years” doctor deficit.
“We are already in a maternal health crisis in our country, and we are only making it worse with new abortion bans,” she says.
