Also: http://www.na-businesspress.com/JABE/jabescholar.html Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY97 Publisher: North American Business Press Keyword(s): Abortion; Legislation Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The purpose of the present study is to determine if laws requiring ultrasounds have any effect on abortion. Using individual-level data from the NLSY and a sample selection model, results suggest that ultrasound requirement laws have a negative effect on the abortion decision of a young woman. In addition to the ultrasound requirement laws, other important determinants of the decision to abort were marital status, the presence of other children, and urban residence. |
