Study finds changes in sexual behavior linked to abortion bans

A recent study from the National Bureau of Economic Research found that individuals in states with strict anti-abortion laws are practicing safer sex, as evidenced by increased condom purchases and decreased gonorrhea rates. The study indicates that while safer sex practices have risen, the demand for abortion has not been eliminated, with national abortion rates continuing to trend upward.
