Abortions in Texas Fall by Half After Introducing Heartbeat Bill

A month after Texas enacted the most restrictive abortion ban in the country, which bans abortion after a heartbeat can be detected and makes it possible for anyone to sue any doctor who murders a baby in the womb, abortions are down 50%, according to a brief by the University of Texas, which studied the impact of Senate Bill 8 on the rates of abortion in the state over the last 30 days.

“The number of abortions in Texas fell by half following implementation of SB8. We obtained monthly data on the total number of abortions provided at 19 of Texas’ 24 abortion facilities, which provide approximately 93% of all abortions reported in state annual vital statistics data. We compared the percent change in the number of in-state abortions that occurred between July and September 2021, relative to the same months in 2020.

There was a 3.0% change (95% CI: -0.1, 7.0) in the number of abortions provided in Texas in July 2021
(n=4,564), compared to July 2020 (n=4,432). This was followed by a 28% increase (95% CI: 23%, 33%) in August
2021 (n=5,377) compared to August 2020 (n=4,198), which likely reflects facilities’ expanded hours to
accommodate more patients needing care in anticipation of SB8 going into effect.


Overall, 2,164 abortions were provided in September 2021 and 4,313 in September 2020, a 49.8% decrease
(95% CI: -52.4%, -47.2%).”

According to a NY Times,report “At Southwestern Women’s Surgery Center in Dallas, about half of patients who thought they were early enough to receive an abortion have been ineligible because fetal cardiac activity was heard.”

This has either forced them to either get an abortion out of state, or choose in the preferred course of action, which is abandoning the abortion altogether.  Dr. Allison Gilbert, a physician and the medical director at the clinic, says that as a result of the new law passing, abortions at her health center have declined nearly 80%.
