A new study shows many people unable to access abortion services were forced to continue pregnancies to term.
from online vendors. But we did not know whether, or to what extent, abortion bans would influence the number of live births occurring. Our study is the first to look at this question in relation to Texas’s 2021 ban on abortion in early pregnancy, which was the most restrictive abortion policy at the time that it was implemented. That’s the motivation: this unanswered question around what the potential impact of these policies might be on births.
One of the challenges in trying to tease out or isolate the potential impact of an abortion ban on fertility is the fact that there are so many other factors that can influence fertility at any given point in time. In recent months and years, we have been observing a slight increase in infertility. Then you have the influence of COVID, which was leading to temporary declines and subsequent increases — a kind of rebound.
It’s important to situate these additional bursts that we observed in Texas in the context of the wealth of data and research out there that shows us these people and their families are likely now struggling in many aspects of their life in the face of an unintended birth. The impact of abortion bans and restrictions is likely not uniformly felt, given existing differences in abortion rates and the ability to overcome barriers to abortion care.
