States with abortion bans saw a drop of 4.2 per cent in medical school graduates applying for residencies, compared with 0.6 per cent in states where abortion is legal
Fewer U.S. medical school graduates are applying to residency programs, but the drop is more striking in states that ban abortion compared with other states.
“It looks even more pronounced. So now, I’m looking at a trend,” said Dr. Atul Grover, a co-author of the latest report. Similarly, states with abortion bans saw a 6.7 per cent drop in OB-GYN applicants year over year, while states without abortion restrictions saw a 0.4 per cent increase in OB-GYN applicants. The group only looked at graduates from U.S. medical schools, not those from osteopathic or international medical schools.
