摘要
This study empirically examines whether restrictive state abortion laws increase the price charged by abortion providers as a result of complying with the laws. The empirical results found that, over the period 2000-2011, state enforcement of a two-visit law and a TRAP law are associated with an increase in the real price charged by abortion providers of 19% for a two-visit law and 25% for a TRAP law. These empirical results suggest that these two restrictive state abortion laws reduce the demand for an abortion in a state by between 13% and 15% for a two-visit law and between 17% and 19% for a TRAP law.
