Note: OLS = ordinary least squares; 2SLS = two-stage least squares. Robust standard errors in parentheses; standard errors clustered at the state level. All models include state fixed effects, year fixed effects, and a vector of state-level, time-varying covariates. Medicaid coverage refers to percentage of women ages 15 to 44 who would be eligible for Medicaid coverage if pregnant.
