The Association of American Medical Colleges released new data this week indicating states with abortion restrictions have fewer new graduates apply for medical school.

In the 2022 to 2023 cycle, states with abortion bans had a 3.3% drop in applicants, compared to 1.9% in states with legal abortion. "The examination of two years of data suggests that restrictions on women’s health care may continue to disproportionately decrease the likelihood that U.S. MD seniors will apply for residencies in states with the most restrictive practice environments," the report says.
