HOUSTON — (HOUSTON) -- Nearly 9,800 extra live births occurred in Texas the year after a strict abortion ban went into effect in 2021, a new analysis found.
In the study, published Thursday in the Journal of the American Medical Association , a team from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health looked at available data of live births from all 50 states and Washington, D.C. between 2016 and 2022.
In 2021, Texas lawmakers passed, and Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law, S.B.8 , which bans abortion after six weeks gestation, before many women know they are pregnant. "There just are a lot of questions around what's going to happen to actual fertility, whether people are going to be able to get an abortion or not," co-lead author Alison Gemmill, an assistant professor in the John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health's Department of Population, Family and Reproductive Health, told ABC News.
Although studies have shown there was an increase in abortions provided to Texans in other states, the team said the findings of its analysis suggest not everyone who might have wanted an abortion was able to get one after S.B.8. passed.
