Texas abortion ban may have contributed to births of nearly 10,000 babies
A Texas law that bans abortion after about six weeks of pregnancy is apparently having an effect on birth rates in the state.
To come to their conclusion, researchers looked at estimated births and observed births from April to December 2022. In every month, there were more births than estimated. December 2022 had the highest recorded births compared to the estimate. The study notes that 32,912 births were estimated and 34,586 babies were actually born. That's an increase of 5%. Senate Bill 8, also known as the Heartbeat Act, was signed in May 2021.
