If Roe falls, some fear repercussions for reproductive care

Associated Press
If the Supreme Court fol-
lows through on overturn-
ing Roe v. Wade, abortion
likely will be banned or
greatly restricted in about
half the U.S. states. But ex-
perts and advocates fear
repercussions could reach
even further, affecting care
for women who miscarry,
couples seeking fertility
treatments and access to
some forms of contracep-
tion.Many conservatives in-
sist they are only interested
in curtailing abortion, and
legislation passed so far of-
ten has exceptions for oth-
er reproductive care. But
rumblings from some in the
GOP have experts con-
cerned, and laws banning
abortion could also have
unintended side effects.
“The rhetoric has been re-
ally increasing over the last
several years,” said Mara
