Abstract:
The Dobbs decision overturned the right to abortion in the United States and allowed states to enact total abortion bans. In addition to restricting access to abortion, laws criminalizing pregnancy outcomes deter providers from offering timely, appropriate care for pregnancy complications. To avoid litigation or prosecution, providers are under pressure to strictly guard the privacy of patient health information related to pregnancy. Perinatal care is at risk of repeating the experience of similar enhanced privacy rules for substance use disorders, which have impeded information sharing and care coordination that improves outcomes.
