A study found Texas’ 2021 abortion ban led to nearly 10,000 additional births.
The ban, which went into effect that September, essentially banned abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected.Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health researchers examined data and created a model of the number of expected births without the ban.
They estimate nearly 9,800 live births between April 2022 and December 2022 would not have happened if the ban had not been enacted. A lead author said the findings show that thousands of people may have had no choice but to carry an unwanted or unsafe pregnancy to term. The data comes a year after the U.S. Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade, which had guaranteed a federal right to abortion.Copyright 2023 CNN Newsource. All rights reserved.
