When the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, access to safe reproductive care was restricted even for patients with wanted or non-viable pregnancies. This study describes trends in early pregnancy-related emergency department visits prior to the court decision and how new restrictions have resulted in physician uncertainty and delays in care in states with abortion bans. The authors recommend physicians be mindful of Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) when caring for pregnant individuals in the emergency department.
