Researchers fear the elimination of Roe v. Wade protections could impact maternal health.

Researchers say the Supreme Court’s move to overturn Roe v. Wade could have a negative impact on maternal health. This comes as new research shows the national rate of maternal mortality increased by 18% between 2019 and 2020, and nearly 17% in 2020.
