Abstract

Objectives

Multiple studies have documented the benefits of abortion access to women across multiple dimensions. Much less research, however, has examined the broader implications of abortion access to family-level processes. We hypothesize that reproductive autonomy is foundational for family stability and test whether there is an association between abortion-restrictive environments and the risk of divorce.

Methods

Data come from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, a prospective cohort data set with five waves of data collection over more than 20 years (n=5,184). The data include multiple indicators of abortion policy and access (eg, public funding available, informed consent procedures, parental consent, and presence of a family planning provider in the county) and relationship histories, including whether the respondent has had a divorce. We used logistic regression analyses and adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics associated with divorce risk (eg, age, education, income, race/ethnicity, number of children in household) and multiple county- and state-level sociodemographic indicators.

Results

Respondents who lived in states and counties with more abortion restrictions had an increased risk of being divorced (OR=1.12, 95% CI=1.05, 1.20) in the fully adjusted models. We did not find differences by gender in the relationship between abortion policy and divorce risk.

Conclusions

Abortion-restrictive environments are associated with an increased risk of divorce.

限制性堕胎政策与个人离婚风险有关

目标多项研究记录了堕胎给妇女带来的多方面益处。然而，很少有研究探讨堕胎对家庭进程的广泛影响。我们假设生殖自主权是家庭稳定的基础，并检验限制堕胎的环境与离婚风险之间是否存在关联。方法数据来自《全国青少年到成人健康纵向研究》，这是一个前瞻性队列数据集，在 20 多年的时间里收集了五波数据（n=5184）。数据包括堕胎政策和堕胎机会的多个指标（例如，可获得的公共资金、知情同意程序、父母同意以及县内是否有计划生育服务提供者）以及关系史，包括受访者是否离婚。我们使用了逻辑回归分析，并对与离婚风险相关的社会人口特征（如年龄、教育程度、收入、种族/民族、家庭中的子女数量）以及多个县和州级社会人口指标进行了调整。结果在完全调整模型中，居住在堕胎限制较多的州和县的受访者离婚风险增加（OR=1.12，95% CI=1.05，1.20）。结论限制堕胎的环境与离婚风险的增加有关。
