Women’s & Families' Health
Since 2011, anti-abortion policymakers have enacted over 450 bills restricting access to abortion care in states across the country. Evaluating Priorities aims to evaluate whether policymakers who claim to care about health and safety when restricting abortion access also work to enact evidence-based policies that support women, their pregnancies, their children, and their families.
The reality is that states with more restrictive abortion policies also tend to have fewer supportive policies in place for women and families.
How We Evaluated Priorities
-
First
We selected a set of abortion restrictions that target when, where, and how abortion can be provided and covered. In total, 18 abortion restrictions are included. Similarly, we selected a set of policies that: support pregnant women; promote children’s and adolescents' health, education, and safety; and support family financial health. In total, 25 supportive policies are included.
-
Next
We scored each state on the number of abortion restrictions (0-18) and supportive policies (0-25) in place.* Higher scores indicate more abortion restrictions or policies supporting women’s and children’s well-being.
*Any law was counted, including those that were currently not enforced due to court challenges and/or rulings.
-
Finally
We examined the association between abortion restrictions and supportive policies in the states.
In total, we included 18 abortion restrictions and 25 supportive policies in the analysis.

Nationwide Comparison
The infographic depicts the number of abortion restrictions and supportive policies enacted in each state. Overall, states with few abortion restrictions tend to have more supportive policies. Likewise, states with a high number of abortion restrictions tend to have fewer supportive policies in place.
The data challenge the claims of politicians who have passed abortion restrictions under the guise of protecting women's, children’s, and families' health and safety. The low number of supportive policies in states with many abortion restrictions indicates that policymakers who enact abortion restrictions have not been prioritizing the health of women and children.
-
Misplaced Priorities
The time and effort anti-abortion policymakers spend restricting access to abortion — restrictions that have been shown to be harmful to women and families — would be better spent expanding supportive policies and ensuring existing policies translate to improved health outcomes for women and children.
-
Evidence Matters
Policymakers should be taking their cues from their constituents and public health data to address the real health concerns in their states and to prioritize reproductive health and autonomy. While many states have enacted all or nearly all of the abortion restrictions in the analysis, not one state has enacted all of the supportive policies.
