Summary

Nutrition label

88% Informative

Pregnant women in abortion-ban states are more often uninsured and have worse access to routine medical care in states that ban (or restrict) abortion care.

Texas , Arkansas and Florida are the states with the largest share of pregnant women without health coverage in 2022 .

The researchers link the deficiencies in pregnancy coverage and care to abortion-Ban/restriction states’ skimpy Medicaid programs.

The American Journal of Preventive Medicine is published on interventions aimed at the prevention of chronic and acute disease and the promotion of individual and community health.

The journal features papers that address the primary and secondary prevention of important clinical, behavioral and public health issues such as injury and violence, infectious disease, women's health, smoking, sedentary behaviors and physical activity, nutrition, diabetes, obesity, and alcohol and drug abuse.
