description On June 24, 2022, Dobbs vs Jackson Women’s Health Organization was decided by the Supreme Court effectively overturning the former precedent of Roe v. Wade. This ruling has direct consequences for the care of persons with epilepsy of childbearing potential. Now more than ever we need to provide informed and comprehensive care to our patients with epilepsy who are particularly vulnerable to the impact of this legislation on their reproductive decision-making. Important areas to understand include (1) the current state of affairs on abortion in the United States; (2) contraception options, their effectiveness, and interactions with anti-seizure medications (ASM); (3) teratogenic effects and adverse neurocognitive outcomes of ASMs; (4) folic acid supplementation; (5) the effect on perinatal and pediatric care; and (6) unique issues related to people of color.
