Abortion restrictions have been cited as a possible contributor to increasing suicide rates in the United States, and now a new study from researchers at Stanford University has found that abortion restrictions are linked with increased suicide rates. The study, published in the journal Health Affairs, looked at more than 1 million women in various states across the country. Researchers used data from a survey of nearly 170,000 women who were asked about their experiences with abortion and how these experiences affected them.”

A new study has found that abortion restrictions are linked to increased suicide rates.

The research, published in the journal Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health, analyzed data from several sources including the National Survey of Family Growth and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). It concluded that between 2011 and 2016 there was a significant increase in these indicators among women living in states with greater access to abortion services during this time period–a trend which remained even after controlling for other factors such as education level or income level.

The study, published in the journal Health Affairs, looked at more than 1 million women in various states across the country. The authors of the study used data from a survey of nearly 170,000 women who had an abortion and compared them to those who did not.

The researchers found that women who were denied abortion access were significantly more likely to have attempted suicide after getting pregnant (23 percent) than those who were able to obtain abortions (8 percent).

The results also suggested that restricting access to abortion services might be associated with increased suicide rates among pregnant women.

The researchers looked at whether there was any link between state-level legislation on abortion rights and suicide rates among women having abortions in each state, using data from the Guttmacher Institute’s 2016 Abortion Patient Survey (APS). The APS is an annual national survey of 2,600 licensed physicians who provide abortions in the United States; it’s considered one of the most reliable sources for measuring trends related to reproductive health care access and outcomes.”

Many Americans are trying to understand the effects of abortion policies on mental health and overall well-being.

The study looked at more than 1 million women in various states across America, all of whom answered questions about their experiences with abortion and how these experiences affected them. They were also asked if they had attempted suicide before getting pregnant or after having an abortion–which allowed researchers to gauge whether someone was thinking about taking their life before or after going through with it.

Conclusion

The study found that as states have passed more laws restricting abortion, women’s mental health has declined. This is in line with other research that indicates that women experiencing unintended pregnancy are more likely to report depression and suicidal thoughts than those who do not experience an unintended pregnancy.
