This research, led by David Reardon from the Elliot Institute, reanalyzed data from a 2011 study over a longer timeframe and revealed that women were 50 percent more likely to seek psychiatric treatment and 87 percent more likely to experience personality and behavioral disorders one year post-abortion.

In This Issue: Recently, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz seemed to deny that sweeping abortion legislation he signed in 2023 allows abortions in the ninth month of pregnancy. This implied denial is false. A Breitbart fact check found the following: “Walz made Minnesota the first in the nation to codify abortion via legislative action after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Minnesota is now one of nine states, including Washington, DC, that has no restrictions on abortion, meaning abortion would technically be legal in the final month of pregnancy.”

In This Issue: According to the latest CDC data, the U.S. fertility rate hit a record low in 2023. The fertility rate has generally been trending downward for decades. In 2021, a slight uptick gave demographers hope that a COVID-19 baby bump would start an upward trend, but this wasn’t the case. The birth rate quickly returned to its more consistent downward pattern. In 2023, the U.S. fertility rate fell another 3% from the prior year to a historic low of about 55 births for every 1,000 females ages 15 to 44. Just under 3.6 million babies were born last year, about 68,000 fewer than the year before.
