New research shows that the states banning abortion could see up to hundreds of thousands of new births each year, most of them unplanned, and concentrated among lower-income families already facin…
Stevenson, in an interview, said that was likely a conservative estimate because it is based on the states’ overall rates of maternal mortality and the additional births after abortion is banned would be concentrated among lower-income women who traditionally face the most health risks during pregnancy.
In their paper, Stevenson and her colleagues reported that in 2020 just over 322,000 abortions were performed in the 26 states expected to eventually ban or restrict the procedure. The authors calculate that, as a general rule, about eight additional children are born for every 10 abortions that are denied.
“Women who carry unintended, and especially unwanted, pregnancies to term are more likely to experience a wide range of adverse health outcomes including depression, poor birth outcomes, interpersonal violence, and psychological distress,” the social scientists wrote.
But these additional births would occur in states that are, by all measures, the least prepared to handle such challenges. As I’ve written, the states moving to ban abortion consistently rank near the bottom on virtually every measure of health and economic well-being for mothers and children. The Annie E. Casey Foundation, in its annual Kids Count reports, pulls together these and other measures to produce an overall ranking of children’s status in the states. The states already moving to limit abortion dominate the lowest rankings on both health outcomes specifically and on the overall outcomes for kids .
