Alice Miranda Ollstein presents "Side Effects: How Abortion Bans Impact Everyone's Health" in conversation w/ Jaisal Noor

Alice Miranda Ollstein presents *Side Effects: How Abortion Bans Impact Everyone’s Health* in a conversation with Baltimore journalist and educator Jaisal Noor. Drawing on Ollstein’s reporting for *Politico*, the event examines how the Supreme Court’s overturning of *Roe v. Wade* has affected the broader U.S. health-care system, far beyond abortion policy.

Ollstein’s investigation follows patients, physicians, researchers, and pharmacists navigating restrictions that can delay or prevent medically necessary care. The discussion covers consequences for pregnancy and birth, contraception, IVF, medical research, hospital staffing, wait times, chronic-illness care, and other services, while also considering how people in the medical and political systems are responding. Ollstein is a senior health-care reporter whose work focuses on reproductive health and the effects of federal policy on the states. Noor’s work as a Baltimore-based multimedia journalist and educator has appeared in *The Atlantic*, *The Baltimore Beat*, *Democracy Now!*, and *The Real News Network*.
