Applications for gynecology and obstetrics residency positions fell in states with restrictive abortion laws a year after the Dobbs decision struck down federal abortion rights. This decline was significant compared to states without such restrictions. A cross-sectional study analyzed data on residence applications. States with restrictions saw a sharp drop in applications. The Dobbs decision was issued in 2022. The study compared trends between restricted and unrestricted states. The results show the impact of abortion laws on the choice of residency programs.[1][3]
