Births in the U.S. declined again and more pregnant women are going without prenatal care, a CDC report finds.
The number of women going through pregnancy without prenatal care is growing — even though the overall number of babies born in the U.S. is falling, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The lopsided trend, published Tuesday by the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics, may reflect, in part, a growing number of women unable to access OB/GYN care after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022.

No one can afford to live, and we've all been so disenfranchised no one cares to fight the scams any more. Medicine is not even a valid science. Make it 5 sigma instead of 3, and ditch all of the capitalist corruption. The coverage is terrible, the actual benefits are largely overblown. Go through a real chronic life altering injury like I have and the limits become obvious, and the hype, transparent. The cost of care does not align with the services or benefits.
Bullshit. That ruling had nothing to do with prenatal care
I really think conservatives are simply too stupid to understand indirect effects. Why else would somebody write a comment like this?
Providers don’t realize that, so patients with non viable pregnancies are left to fend for themselves in states with strict laws.
