An analysis of medical records of 217 million people in the U.S. compared [[Tubal ligation|tubal sterilization]] and vasectomy rates in the last six months of 2021 with rates in the last six months of 2022—just after the [[Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization|Dobbs]] ruling (i.e. the overturning of [[Roe v. Wade|Roe vs Wade]]) in June 2022.
