In a study published yesterday in Health Affairs, researchers analyzed CDC data on violent deaths and so-called TRAP laws — like mandating physicians have admitting privileges at a local hospital or specifying the width of corridors at a clinic — and found that the laws were associated with higher murder rates for women and girls. Between 2014 and 2020, enforcement of each additional law was associated with a 4.4% increase in total murders of women and girls aged 10 to 44, and a 3.4% increase in the rate of those related to intimate partner violence. It’s unclear whether the association is driven by the laws or other factors in the states where they were enforced. But overall, the findings complement previous research that has found people denied an abortion were more likely to experience violence from their partner than people who got a wanted abortion.
