Where this comes from

Abstract

In this issue of <i>NEJM Evidence</i>, Dr. Goulding and colleagues present the case of a patient with second-trimester rupture of membranes managed expectantly despite the patient's request for termination of her nonviable pregnancy.<sup>1</sup> This case occurred in Texas, one of the states that immediately passed even more restrictive laws when the Supreme Court's decision in <i>Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization</i> ended a person's constitutional right to abortion.<sup>2</sup>.
