Texas Abortion Ban Results in Surge of Births, Study Reveals
TL;DR Summary
A study conducted by researchers from Johns Hopkins University's Bloomberg School of Public Health found that Texas had nearly 10,000 more births between April and December 2022 than expected, following the implementation of a law that effectively banned abortion at six weeks. The study's findings suggest a significant increase in pregnancies carried to term that may not have occurred without the law. However, researchers caution that not all of the excess births can be attributed solely to the abortion ban, and further investigation is needed to understand the full impact of such laws on birth rates.
