Abstract

OBJECTIVES

We explored the potential impact of abortion bans in neighboring states on Michigan's abortion volume.

STUDY DESIGN

Using ArcGIS mapping software, we determined which counties in neighboring states had their closest out-of-state abortion clinic in Michigan. We estimated the change in abortions in Michigan occurring from neighboring states' residents, assuming complete bans in those states.

RESULTS

Complete bans in neighboring states could increase abortion volume in Michigan by approximately 5928 out-of-state patients annually (21% increase).

CONCLUSIONS

Complete bans in neighboring states may markedly increase abortions occurring in Michigan, which may strain Michigan facilities' capacity to provide abortion care.
