Abstract

Objective: This study analyzes the economic impacts of Ohio's Senate Bill 23, which would ban abortion care after fetal cardiac activity is detected.

Methods: Leveraging previous research and publicly available datasets, a unique set of calculations were developed to determine abortion outcomes, individual costs, and public costs in three scenarios in which abortion care is banned in Ohio. Scenario 1 assumes that all abortion care is sought out-of-state. Scenario 2 assumes that all pregnancies result in a birth. Scenario 3 assumes that pregnancies either result in receiving out-of-state abortion care or result in a birth.

Results: The total additional economic impact of restricted abortion access in Ohio likely ranges between $98.8 million and $118.4 million, but could be up to $551.4 million per year.

Conclusion: Regardless of the three scenarios analyzed, restrictions to accessing abortion care result in negative economic impacts for both individuals and the state. Several policy recommendations are proposed for consideration by policymakers and communities.

估算俄亥俄州限制生殖医疗服务的经济影响。

目的：本研究分析了俄亥俄州参议院第 23 号法案的经济影响：本研究分析了俄亥俄州参议院第 23 号法案的经济影响，该法案将禁止在检测到胎儿心脏活动后进行堕胎护理：利用先前的研究和公开可用的数据集，我们开发了一套独特的计算方法，以确定俄亥俄州禁止堕胎护理的三种情景下的堕胎结果、个人成本和公共成本。方案 1 假设所有堕胎护理都在州外进行。方案 2 假设所有妊娠均导致分娩。方案 3 假设怀孕要么导致接受州外堕胎护理，要么导致分娩：结果：限制堕胎对俄亥俄州造成的额外经济影响总额可能在 9880 万美元至 1.184 亿美元之间，但每年可能高达 5.514 亿美元：无论分析了哪三种情况，限制堕胎护理都会对个人和州造成负面的经济影响。本文提出了若干政策建议，供决策者和社区考虑。
