States with abortion bans saw birth control prescriptions fall post-Dobbs, study finds. A primary reason for the trend, is that abortion bans enacted after the Dobbs decision in June 2022 led abortion and family planning clinics in those states — facilities where many women accessed birth control prescriptions — to close.
