Abstract:
Regulation of abortion, contraception, and other facets of reproductive health care are historically intertwined into our nation's approach to controlling reproduction. Government interference into reproductive health care is associated with worse maternal and infant health outcomes. In the following review, we discuss the history of these restrictions and detail the ways in which federal and state-level policies restricting abortion, contraception, care for minors, and funding for reproductive health services impact reproductive health outcomes, including maternal and infant morbidity and mortality.
