The recent decision by the U.S. Supreme Court in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, reversing the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, allows the states to enact laws and regulations impacting individual access to abortion. The AACP Board of Directors is concerned that this decision will have a significantly negative impact on the lives of many women and their families, and will deepen disparities in access to health care for many vulnerable patients, especially women of color and all women living in communities with already limited access to health care services.
