Table 3. Income-moderated effect of abortion ban or gestational limit.
SEs in parentheses clustered by state; control variables include flexible dummies capturing sex, age, marital status, income, sexual orientation, education, and race, including dummies for nonresponse where appropriate. The income dummy associated with a reported annual income of <$25,000 is omitted and thus serves as the reference group. Moderated estimates associated with nonresponse to the income question are omitted for brevity. Observation counts differ across estimations due to variation in nonresponse across each mental health survey item. TWFE, flexible income dummies.
