Abstract
(JAMA. 2022;328:2048–2055) In 2021, the state of Texas implemented a strict abortion law (SB 8) that banned abortion after the detection of fetal cardiac activity. Previously, abortions could be performed in the state of Texas up to 22 weeks of gestation. In June 2022, the US Supreme Court overturned its decision on Roe v Wade, making it possible to enforce the new legislation banning nearly all abortions. Primary outcomes for this study included the change in the number of facility-based, out-of-state, and total documented abortions for Texas residents after the implementation of SB 8. The secondary outcome was the change in the percentage of out-of-state abortions for Texas residents that were provided at or after 12 weeks of gestation.
