Notes: Abortion is categorized in five ways: (1) abortions obtained in state by residents of the state, (2) abortions obtained in state by nonresidents, (3) abortions to residents obtained out of state, (4) total abortions to residents, and (5) total abortions that occurred in state irrespective of residency. Pre–PI law in Mississippi, North Carolina, and Texas is 1991, 1994, and 1999, respectively; post–PI law for these states is, respectively, 1994, 1996, and 2000.
Sources: Abortions to residents and nonresidents that occurred in Mississippi, North Carolina, and Texas are from state health departments in the three states. Data on residents of Mississippi, North Carolina, and Texas performed in other states came from individual level records in Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, and Virginia. Data from New Mexico are from Joyce et al. (2006). Percentage changes are calculated as ln(pre−PI law) − ln(post−PI law).
