It prevented the success of the miscarriage with the success of some women from obtaining abortion operations in the wake of the extinction of the Supreme Court in the ROE V case. Wade, according to a new detailed study of birth data since 2023. The effects were more evident among women in certain groups – black and lavene women, women without a university degree, and women are greater than a clinic.
Abortion has continued to rise since the period covered by data, especially through the birth control pills that are shipped in prohibitions. But the study determines the groups of women who are probably affected by the ban.
For the normal woman in countries that banned abortion, the distance to the clinic increased to 300 miles from 50 miles, which led to an increase of 2.8 percent in births for what was expected without a ban.
For black women who live 300 miles from a clinic, births increased 3.8 percent. For Latin women, it was 3.2 percent, and for white women by 2 percent.
“It is more likely that women who are poorer and younger have you have a smaller and have less education than unintended pregnancy, and they are more likely to be able to overcome barriers in front of abortion.
The worksheet, which was issued by the National Office for Economic Research on Monday, is the first to analyze detailed local patterns in births shortly after DobBS decision in 2022, which is a period when The abortion was a decrease or level At the level of the country.
Unexpectedly, Abortion of abortion increased The country since then. The researchers say this is evidence of Unpaid request For miscarriage before dobbs. Since then, health care has made a distance and an increase in financial assistance is easy for women to obtain abortion, and in both countries with the embargo and where it has been legal.
But the new results indicate that the assistance did not reach everyone. It seems that the ban on the state prevented some women from performing the abortion that they would have requested if they were legal.
Ketlin Maires, professor of economics at Middalet College and author of the book “Daniel Dench and Mira Pinida Torres” at Middalet College and author of the book “Daniel Dench and Mira Pinida Torres”, said that the national increase in the masks of abortion that some people were “trapped by the ban.” “What happened is increased inequality in access: access to some people is increasing and not to others.”
Diana Green Foster, director of research in the progress of new reproductive health standards at the University of California, San Francisco, said that the height of births was small, indicating that most women who want to abort are still getting them. She said that the new study was convincing to show the effects of the ban: “I now feel more convinced that some people had really had pregnancy to the period.”
John Sugo, head of Texas, the right to life, said that the ban on federal abortion will work better than a group of state policies, and that countries like Texas need to do more to reduce abortion pills outside the country. But I believed that the Texas Law was making a difference.
“It is clear that we see the evidence that the ban is already prohibiting abortion,” he said. “They actually save lives.”
Previous studies have led to the measurement of changes in the rate of miscarriage, but Professor Myers said that looking at the number of children born is the most specific way to see if the prohibition of miscarriage is already working. Research from the previous years turned Show The longest distances of clinics affected abortion and childbirth.
“This is the paper that I was waiting for to write for years,” she said. “This is the data I was waiting for.”
The data she wanted was detailed birth certificates provided in 2023. Mothers include information about their age, race, marital status, level of education and home address in almost every state, making demographic comparisons possible. The researchers used a statistical method that compared places with similar births before Dobbs to estimate the amount of ban that changes the expected birth rate.
They also used boycott level data to consider births in births inside the states. In provinces in countries with a ban where the distance did not change to the nearest clinic in another state, births increased by 1 percent. In the provinces, which increased by more than 200 miles, births increased 5 percent.
In Texas, the largest state with a ban on miscarriage, births increased in Houston, where the closest clinic is 600 miles in Kansas, than it was in El Passo, where the closest clinic is 20 miles in New Mexico. Likewise, births have increased more in the south, where the states surround other states with a ban, but very few in East Missouri, where abortion clinics are located across the border in Illinois.
The researchers also considered the availability of dates in nearby clinics, because some clinics It has been overlooked With people traveling from other states. They found that if women could not get an appointment within two weeks, births are increased more.
However, even in places that contain a ban that had no change in the nearest clinic or the availability of an appointment there, relative births have increased slightly, which was attributed to Professor Mayz to a “chilling effect of the bodies” of the ban.
The results are in line with other research. former analysisUsing data at the state level during the year 2023 and a different statistical method, I found that births increased by 1.7 percent, and more among women who are black or of Spanish origin, unmarried, without university degrees, or on medicaid.
“Using different methods, using a little different data, we reach the same conclusion about the varying effects of these policies on the population,” said Susan Bell, a population in Jones Hopkins and the author of this paper. “I think this adds more evidence to the idea that these are real effects that we pick up.”
Since the study’s boycott level ends after 2023, births in the prohibitions have decreased since then. The abortion continued throughout the country in the increase, including Women in countries with the ban.
Doctors in the countries that have passed by the so -called Shield lawsThat protects them from legal responsibility if they send birth control pills to a prohibited country, began to do this seriously during the summer of 2023. In this way, abortion will not affect birth data until 2024.
But using temporary birth data at the state level of 2024, the new paper has not found almost any change in births since 2023. This data is less reliable, but researchers said that even with the laws of the shield, it is still unlikely that some women get abortion-especially those with less resources, who may not know about abortion sites in the field of health care in the field of distance or in the case of arrangement on the Internet.
