Abstract
This study empirically examines whether restrictive state abortion laws have an indirect effect on the demand for abortions by increasing the price charged by abortion providers as a result of complying with the laws. The empirical results found that, over the period 2000-2011, state enforcement of a two-visit law and a TRAP law caused an increase in the real price charged by abortion providers by between 13%-15% for a two-visit law and 17%-19% for a TRAP law. These empirical results suggest that these two restrictive state abortion laws indirectly reduce abortion demand through their impact on the price of an abortion.
