CORE and REAL researchers contribute chapters to When Roe Fell

Researchers and staff from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology contributed chapters to a new book published by Rutgers Press in late 2025 that explores the consequences of overturning Roe v. Wade.

When Roe Fell includes scholarship about how the Dobbs decision impacted who could access abortion care, how physicians navigated a changing legal landscape, and more. Researchers and staff from the Collaborative for Reproductive Equity and the Reproductive Equity Action Lab wrote chapters in the book:
