The article reveals that the average American woman now faces a 300-mile trip to access an abortion clinic due to state bans following the Supreme Court's 2022 decision. This distance has contributed to rising birth rates, notably among Hispanic women, who saw a 3.8% increase, compared to 2.8% overall. Researchers highlighted this impact for the first time, despite historical trends showing nonwhite women are most affected by abortion restrictions. The study used 2023 birth data, considering various demographics, underscoring the significant and ongoing implications of restricted abortion access.
For Hispanic women living 300 miles from an abortion clinic in 2023, births increased 3.8%, compared with a 2.8% increase for the average woman.
This is just relevant because we were able to identify it this time. But this is historically the case. Nonwhite women have always been impacted the most by abortion restrictions.
