At a time when across the world abortion rights were continuing to expand, the US appeared to be retrenching on it. Dobbs renewed the debate about abortion as a political or human right. But often overlooked in the discussion of the topic is how access to abortion is a medical and health issue. This Article examines abortion as a health care issue. It constructs a cross-national aggregate database looking at the relationship between more permissive abortion laws and the promotion of health. It finds that more permissive abortion laws nationally are correlated with better health care outcomes for women, pregnant mothers, and newborns. It also finds that more permissive abortion laws are associated with democracies and the percentage of women in national legislaturesLeta 2022 je odločitev Vrhovnega sodišča ZDA v zadevi Dobbs proti Jacksons Women Health Organization pravico do splava ponovno postavila v središče ameriške in svetovne politike. V času, ko so se pravice do splava po vsem svetu še naprej širile, se je zdelo, da jih ZDA omejujejo. Zadeva Dobbs je obnovila razpravo o splavu kot politični ali človekovi pravici. Toda v razpravi o tej temi je pogosto spregledano, da je dostop do splava medicinsko in zdravstveno vprašanje. V članku je splav obravnavan kot vprašanje zdravstvenega varstva. Oblikuje meddržavno zbirno bazo podatkov, ki preučuje povezavo med bolj permisivnimi zakoni o splavu in spodbujanjem zdravja. Ugotavlja, da so bolj permisivni zakoni o splavu na nacionalni ravni povezani z boljšimi rezultati zdravstvenega varstva žensk, nosečnic in novorojenčkov. Ugotavlja tudi, da so bolj permisivni zakoni o splavu povezani z demokracijo in deležem žensk v nacionalnih zakonodajnih organihTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Mariboru, Pravna fakulteta
