This paper examines whether the expansion of Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which increases access to contraceptives to low-income childless women and allows them more autonomy to determine the timing of their pregnancies and births, is associated with lower abortion rates during the period 2008-2017. Using state-level data from the Guttmacher Institute and employing a difference-in-differences method, we find that Medicaid expansion is associated with a meaningful reduction in the abortion rate among women ages 18-24, presumably through increased use of contraceptives among low-income young adults. Our estimates imply that Medicaid expansion is associated with a relative decrease in the abortion rate among this age group, approximately 1-2 per 1000 women.
