A groundbreaking meta-analysis study was just published in State Politics & Policy Quarterly showing the positive impact of state-level pro-life laws in reducing abortion rates.

In this comprehensive study, author Michael New, assistant professor of political science at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, analyzed studies based on two sources of abortion data (Guttmacher Institute and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) from nearly all 50 states for every year from 1985 to 2005.
