Abstract
⺠Individual states in the U.S. have placed a number of restrictions on abortion access. ⺠Initial legalization of abortion was associated with improvements in child well-being, including reduced child-maltreatment. ⺠Conversely, abortion-restrictions may be associated with increased child-maltreatment, and child deaths from assault/homicide. ⺠Our empirical results find certain state abortion-restrictions are associated with increases in child homicide deaths.
