Abstract
n the summer of 2023, the National Cancer Policy Forum held a series of webinars examining the downstream impacts of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Supreme Court decision on reproductive healthcare and cancer care. In the wake of Dobbs, states have been empowered to adopt more restrictive abortion regulations, and this, intertwined with the broader issue of uneven Medicaid expansion, creates a complex landscape that impacts healthcare access for many. SGO members Drs. Beth Karlan, Alex Melamed, Monica Vetter, Barbara Goff, and Jolyn Taylor offered insights into how new abortion restrictions affect gynecologic cancer patients, the cancer care workforce, and health systems.
