The Hill (12/28, O’Connell-Domenech) reports, “Restricted abortion access is associated with heightened suicide risk among younger women, according to a…study” that used “state-level data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on adult women from 1974 to 2016.” Investigators “said they found a link between enforcing laws restricting abortion access and an increased risk for women of reproductive age, particularly those 20 to 34 years old,” but “they did not find such a risk for older women, according to the study” published online Dec. 28 in JAMA Psychiatry.
