“…Now, some of the earlier studies examine a timeframe where few, if any, states had these laws in effect. However, even some of the later studies neglect to analyze their impact (Medoff 2002;Pritchard and Parsons 1999).…”

“…They only examine a small number of states that have enacted these anti-abortion laws (Blum, Resnick, and Stark 1987;Cartoof and Klerman 1986;Donovan 1983;Ellertson 1997;Henshaw 1995;Joyce, Kaestner, and Colman 2006;Rogers et al 1991).

Much of the academic literature that analyzes U.S. state-level restrictions on abortion focuses on parental involvement laws and the extent to which abortion is publicly funded through Medicaid. However, one shortcoming common to all of these studies is that they fail to analyze informed consent laws and other types of anti-abortion legislation that received constitutional protection through the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey (1992). In this study, a series of regressions on a comprehensive time series cross-sectional data set provides evidence that several types of state-level anti-abortion legislation result in statistically significant declines in both the abortion rate and the abortion ratio. Furthermore, a series of natural experiments provide further evidence that abortion restrictions are correlated with reductions in the incidence of abortion.
