Fear, numbness, joy: How the Dobbs decision is impacting mental health

READ
The Supreme Court's decision to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling has created a domino effect of outcomes in our country. PublicSource has been exploring the chain reaction in the Pittsburgh region — from local government response to its implications for students and marginalized communities.

Health reporter Amelia Winger has now explored the impact of the Dobbs decision on mental health — in both the immediate and long term, and the full spectrum of emotion and behavior. From our reporting, it's pretty clear you don't have to have had an abortion to experience a shift in your internal landscape due to this ruling.

Read the story to learn more about the aftershocks as described by fellow residents, advocates and mental health experts.
