How many abortions would Texas' 6-week ban prevent?
Fox News
The enactment of Texas' restrictive abortion law has jolted both sides of the debate who see high stakes in the resulting number of mothers and unborn babies affected.
When Planned Parenthood sued Texas, its lawsuit said that roughly 85-90% of abortions occurred after six weeks gestation. The abortion provider pointed to a study from the Texas Policy Evaluation Project (TPEP), which used its own 2018 survey to report that 16% of women were at less than six weeks gestation at their abortion appointments. Alternatively, 84% were not at less than six weeks gestation. According to the Texas Department of Health and Human Services, the state saw 57,275 abortion procedures in 2019. Using the TPEP's rate of 84% of abortions occuring before six weeks, that would translate to 48,111 abortions in 2019.
