NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – New data shows fewer doctors are chosen to do their OBGYN residency here in Tennessee since the abortion ban passed. News 2 talked with the researcher who said the ban is scaring doctors away.
“Year over year, the magnitude has surprised me,” said Dr. Atul Grover, executive director of the Research and Action Institute at AAMC.
Grover said new data shows that the number of doctors looking to do OBGYN residency training here in Tennessee has dropped 21% since the state’s abortion ban passed.
