ATLANTA — Based on a look back at 11 years of abortions in Georgia, a new study has found that only 9% of those pregnancies would have met the new six-week cutoff for an abortion under the new state law that took effect in July 2022, according to a study released Monday in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
The findings also show a disproportionate number of teenagers and Black patients are likely being affected.
Until now, no one has really known what the law’s result would be, though a significant impact seemed obvious.
