  • Confidential and Legal Access to Abortion and Contraception, 1960-2019
    Confidential and legal access to abortion and contraception, 1960-2019 Caitlin Knowles Myers* March 2021 Abstract An expansive empirical literature estimates the causal effects of policies governing young women’s confidential and legal access to contraception and abortion. I present a new review of changes in the historical policy environment that serve as the foundation of this work. I consult primary sources including annotated statutes, judicial rulings, attorney general opinions, and advisory articles in medical journals, as well as secondary sources including newspaper articles and snapshots of various policy environments prepared by scholars, advocates, and government organizations. Based on this review, I provide a suggested coding of the policy environment from 1960 to present. I also present and compare the legal coding schemes used in the empirical literature and where possible I resolve numerous and substantial discrepancies. * John G. McCullough Professor of Economics at Middlebury College and Research Fellow, IZA. I am grateful to Martha Bailey, Randall Cragun, Melanie Guldi, Theodore Joyce, and Joseph Sabia for helpful and insightful conversations on the legal coding. I additionally wish to thank Birgitta Cheng, Kathryn Haderlein and Madeleine Niemi for expert research assistance.

PLAINTIFFS V. ADAM W. MEIER et al. DEFENDANTS MEMORANDUM OPINION INCORPORATING FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW This matter came before the court for a bench trial that commended on November 13, 2018 and concluded on November 19, 2018. The court has reviewed the parties’ post-trial briefs and the evidence at trial, and its findings of facts and conclusions of law are set forth below. I. BACKGROUND A. Procedural History Plaintiffs, a Kentucky abortion facility and its two board-certified obstetrician-gynecologists (“OB-GYN”) Drs. Ashlee Bergin and Tanya Franklin, challenge the constitutionality of a recently enacted Kentucky abortion law. The law at issue regulates second-trimester abortion procedures and is included in House Bill 454 (“H.B. 454” or “the Act”). Plaintiffs allege that the Act’s requirement that Kentucky physicians perform a fetal-demise procedure prior to performing the evacuation phase of a standard Dilation and Evacuation (“D&E”) abortion—the principal second-trimester abortion method nationally—is a substantial obstacle to a woman’s right to choose a lawful pre-viability second-trimester abortion. As such, Plaintiffs argue H.B. 454 is unconstitutional. More specifically, the individual Plaintiffs assert that, if the Act goes into effect, they will stop performing standard D&E abortions altogether due to ethical and legal concerns regarding compliance with the law, thereby rendering abortions Case 3:18-cv-00224-JHM-RSE Document 126 Filed 05/10/19 Page 2 of 27 PageID #: 5725 unavailable in the Commonwealth of Kentucky starting at 15.0 weeks from the date of a woman’s last menstrual period (“LMP”).1 Defendants respond that the Act has neither the purpose nor the effect of placing an undue burden on a woman seeking a second-trimester abortion.
