The decision by the United States Supreme Court has rescinded the constitutional guarantee of abortion across the United States. As a result, at least 13 states have banned abortion access with unknown effects. Using "Texas" SB8 law that similarly restricted abortions in Texas, we provide insight into how individuals respond to these restrictions using aggregated and anonymized human mobility data. We find that "Texas" SB 8 law reduced mobility near abortion clinics in Texas by people who live in Texas and those who live outside the state. We also find that mobility from Texas to abortion clinics in other states increased, with notable increases in Missouri and Arkansas, two states that subsequently enacted post-Dobbs bans. These results highlight the importance of out-of-state abortion services for women living in highly restrictive states.
美国最高法院的这一裁决取消了全美范围内堕胎的宪法保障。结果，至少13个州已禁止堕胎，其影响尚不明朗。我们利用类似限制德克萨斯州堕胎的“德克萨斯州”SB8法案，通过汇总和匿名化的人类流动数据，深入了解个人如何应对这些限制。我们发现，“德克萨斯州”SB8法案减少了居住在德克萨斯州内和州外的人前往德克萨斯州堕胎诊所附近的流动。我们还发现，从德克萨斯州前往其他州堕胎诊所的流动增加了，在密苏里州和阿肯色州显著增加，这两个州随后颁布了多布斯案后的禁令。这些结果凸显了州外堕胎服务对生活在限制严格州的女性的重要性。
