Mississippi data for 1993 indicate that the state's new parental consent requirement had little effect on the abortion rate among minors. In a comparison of Mississippi residents who had abortions during the five months before and the six months after the law went into effect, the ratio of minors to adults who sought abortions in the state declined by 13%, a decrease offset by a 32% increase in the ratio of minors to adults who obtained abortions out of state. There was also a 28% drop in the ratio of minors to adults from other states who had abortions in Mississippi. The parental consent requirement increased by 19% the ratio of minors to adults who obtained their procedure after 12 weeks of gestation.
1993年密西西比州的数据表明，该州新的父母同意要求对未成年人的堕胎率几乎没有影响。在对该法律生效前五个月和生效后六个月内进行堕胎的密西西比州居民进行的比较中，该州寻求堕胎的未成年人与成年人的比例下降了13%，但这一下降被该州外寻求堕胎的未成年人与成年人的比例32%的上升所抵消。来自其他州在密西西比州堕胎的未成年人与成年人的比例也下降了28%。父母同意要求使妊娠12周后进行堕胎手术的未成年人与成年人的比例增加了19%。
