Nearly a quarter of people seeking an abortion in the United States were unable to get one due to bans that took effect after the Supreme Courts Dobbs decision, researchers estimate. In the first half of 2023, states with abortion bans had an average fertility rate that was 2.3% higher than states where abortion was not restricted, according to the analysis leading to about 32,000 more births than expected.

The findings are based on preliminary births data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The research has not yet been peer-reviewed but experts say the data paints a clear picture about the direct impact of abortion restrictions.

It's not going to be as impactful as they hope, but it is having an impact.
