Denial of abortion is linked with heightened stress and anxiety among reproductive-aged women.

Duration of follow-up varied between different states (range, 4-40 years), contingent on the first year that restrictions were implemented. Models controlled for year and state fixed effects and other relevant demographic and economic factors.

Annual rates of death by suicide ranged from 1.4 to 25.6 per 100\u202f000 women of reproductive age to 2.7 to 33.2 per 100\u202f000 women of postreproductive age during the study period (1974-2016). Annual motor vehicle crash death rates among women of reproductive age ranged from 2.4 to 42.9 per 100\u202f000. Enforcement of TRAP laws was associated with higher suicide rates among reproductive-aged women (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.17; 95% CI, 0.03 to 0.32; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.02) but not women of postreproductive age (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.06; 95% CI, \u20130.11 to 0.24; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.47) nor to deaths due to motor vehicle crashes (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.03, 95% CI, \u20130.04 to 0.11; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.36). Among reproductive-aged women, the weighted average annual-state level suicide death rate when no TRAP laws were enforced was 5.5 per 100\u202f000. Enforcement of a TRAP law was associated with a 5.81% higher annual rate of suicide than in pre-enforcement years.

Given the limitations of the ecologic design of this study, further research is needed to assess whether current factors affecting access to reproductive care services are related to suicide risk
