An increase in women having their fallopian tubes tied or removed appears to coincide with the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, with the most notable increase occurring in states that have placed limits on abortion, a recent study claims.

In 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that there is no constitutional right to abortion and returned to the states the power to make laws governing abortion. While some states banned all or most abortions, others added a right to abortion to their state constitutions.

According to research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, sterilizations rose 39% by December 2022 in states that restricted abortion following the Dobbs ruling. While the sterilization rate also rose in states that did not restrict abortion, researchers claim they didn't find the increase to be statistically significant.
