Researchers found that so-called TRAP laws were associated with an increased rate of murders among young girls and women committed by their intimate partners.
Restrictive abortion laws have caused a small but real climb in fatal violence committed against women, new research out Monday suggests. The study found that so-called TRAP laws were associated with an increased rate of murders among young girls and women committed by their intimate partners. The continued rise in tough abortion laws, fueled by the Supreme Court’s dismantling of Roe v. Wade in 2022, will likely contribute to further violence, the study authors argue.
During those years, there were at least 8,319 recorded homicides of girls and women in this age group. Of these, 41% were judged to involve intimate partner violence. The researchers found a modest but noticeable connection between TRAP laws and more of these murders. For each additional TRAP law enacted in a state, there was a 3.4% increase in homicides related to intimate partner violence, they estimated.
