Study Defies Abortion Myths: OB-GYNs Increasing in Ban States

A startling revelation from a recent study is flipping the narrative surrounding the impact of pro-life legislation on healthcare providers.

Contrary to claims made by abortion advocates, a new analysis published in JAMA Network Open shows that there's been no mass exodus of OB-GYNs from states that have chosen to impose restrictions on abortion.

In fact, the study reveals that the number of practicing OB-GYNs actually increased more significantly in states with stringent abortion laws compared to those with more permissive measures.

The study, backed by six authors—none linked to pro-life organizations—found an 8.3% increase in OB-GYNs in "abortion ban" states, alongside a 10.5% increase in states where abortion is threatened. In contrast, states with legally protected abortion saw only a 7.7% growth in the same healthcare specialty.


This points to a larger trend that contradicts the fear-mongering often propounded by those on the left.

Dr. Michael New, an expert affiliated with the Charlotte Lozier Institute, commented on the findings. He pointed out that most OB-GYNs do not perform abortions, and thus the legality of abortion likely has minimal influence on their decision to practice in a specific state.

Moreover, the study made it clear that the percentage of OB-GYNs switching policy environments was only between 1% and 2% across all three types of legislative settings.

These results provide a robust counter-narrative to the anxiety surrounding the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade.

The facts not only underscore the resilience of healthcare providers—despite fears of potential fallout—but also expose the double standards in how the media presents such studies when they contradict a favored narrative.

While some media voices may resist acknowledging this new evidence, it demonstrates that pro-life policies are not only politically supported but are also successfully embraced within the medical community.

This developing story is one more testament to the enduring influence of states exercising their rights to protect preborn children, illustrating that many in the medical field remain committed to practicing in accordance with their values, irrespective of the political climate.

As the country continues to navigate these complex issues, it is crucial that we uphold and defend the values that resonate with millions across America.
