Rick Allgeyer, director of research at the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, had teamed up with researchers from the University of Texas at Austin’s Population Research Center to look at what happened after Texas booted Planned Parenthood from its state-run Women’s Health Program in 2013.

Their study, which was published in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine early this month, found that the number of women obtaining long-acting birth control (such as intrauterine devices and contraceptive shots) through state-funded family planning services dropped by about a third after the change. Meanwhile, low-income women who had previously been receiving injectable contraceptives from Planned Parenthood before the change saw their birth rate shoot up 27 percent.

Those women lived in counties that lost a Planned Parenthood clinic.
