这篇文章是经验性的。评估年龄限制堕胎和避孕药是否影响美国未成年人的生育率。关于限制未成年人堕胎的法律与未成年人出生率之间的关系，以前的文献中没有达成强烈的共识。这是第一项研究，承认1973年罗伊诉韦德案裁决之前实施的州法律允许未成年人在一些州合法同意手术治疗，但在另一些州不允许，并构建反映这一点的堕胎机会变量。在这篇特定年龄的政策中，变量衡量未成年人获得堕胎或在没有父母参与的情况下获得避孕药的合法能力。我发现了相当有力的证据，表明年轻女性的出生率因堕胎机会的获得而下降，也有证据表明获得避孕药导致白人的出生率下降。
This article empirically. assesses whether age-restricted access to abortion and the birth control pill influence minors' fertility in the United States. There is not a strong consensus in previous literature regarding the relationship between laws restricting minors' access to abortion and minors' birth-rates. This is the first study, to recognize that state laws in place prior to the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision enabled minors to legally consent to surgical treatment-inch (ding abortion-in some states hut not in others, and to construct abortion access variables reflecting this. In this article, age-specific policy, variables measure either a minor's legal ability to obtain an abortion or to obtain the birth control pill without parental involvement. I find fairly strong evidence that young women's birthrates dropped as a result of abortion access as well as evidence that birth control pill access led to a drop in birthrates among whites.
