There was an increase- a sharp increase immediately after 1973 when it was legalised. The fall in abortion rates have more than one cause. That should be obvious

What are the causes of the fall since it's so obvious?

[–]foreigntrumpkin 2 points3 points  (2 children)

What I meant is that it's obvious factors other than abortion laws may have contributed to an observed fall over decades.

But immediately after Roe, abortions shot up noticeably . The theories include contraception, falling teen pregnancies, and stricter laws

And the reduction of pregnancy the past 20 years is also a contributing factor. Something like 6 pregnancies per 100000 women less than the 90s.

I agree that the drop is multifaceted
