- lettergram 3y agoThe numbers are actually quite apparent in terms of fertility: https://ifstudies.org/blog/the-conservative-fertility-advantage https://ifstudies.org/blog/the-conservative-fertility-advant... That said, you can probably query the CDC Wonder dataset to see the breakdown of vasectomies by state. I actually think overturning Roe will accelerate abortions in some regions (and completely stop others). There were previously limits on abortions based on age. In Colorado, you can now abort up to birth, for instance. Imo this will lead to a much larger change in the fertility rates.
