In our typical Trending News US episodes, we examine a few recent newsworthy items we think healthcare leaders should be considering. For today’s episode, we focus on the Supreme Court’s ruling on Dobbs v. Jackson, a case centered on a Mississippi law that bars most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, a standard that directly challenged Roe v. Wade. On Friday June 24th, in one of the most consequential decisions in decades, the Court ruled in favor of overturning Roe – holding there is no longer a federal constitutional right to an abortion. Jen, Mindy, and Ryan discuss the implications of this decision on women’s reproductive health and the American healthcare industry.
