One year ago, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and the decades of decisions that had followed it, resting authority to regulate or prohibit abortion with the citizens of each state. But one year after Dobbs, the legal landscape is murky, at best. Myriad new state laws seek to facilitate or block access to abortion. And those myriad new laws have spawned a multitude of court challenges and decisions.

This webinar reviews the issues triggering litigation, the types of litigation and their legal arguments, the many conflicting court decisions, and the implications for providers, patients, employers and other stakeholders.
