Lógicamente, no hay mucho de eso aún. Este estudio es muy reciente:

CONTEXT: Published reports to date have failed to demonstrate a decrease in
abortion rates with increased dispersal of levonorgestrel emergency
contraception
(LNG EC). OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether there is an association between
statewide increases in LNG EC use and birth, fertility, and abortion rates.
DESIGN: Ecological study. The number of LNG EC doses dispensed at all Planned
Parenthood Association of Utah (PPAU) sites (n = 6) were obtained for
2000-2006.
For this time period, birth and abortion data were obtained from the Utah
Department of Health. SETTING: State of Utah. PATIENTS: Women of childbearing
age. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Birth rates were calculated as the number of live
births per 1000 population; general fertility rates, abortion rates, and LNG EC
rates were calculated per 1000 women of childbearing age (15-44
years). RESULTS:
Between 2000 and 2006, yearly distribution of LNG EC increased from 11,263 to
52,083 doses. Over this period, the rate of Plan B use per 1000 women age 15-44
years increased from 21.30 doses/1000 to 87.82 doses/1000, an increase of 312%.
During the same period, there were corresponding changes in the statewide birth
rate (-2.94%), general fertility rate (0.73%), and abortion rate (-6.36%).
Pearson correlation coefficients were statistically significant for the
association between the LNG EC rate and the birth rate (-0.9053; P = .0050) and
the abortion rate (-0.8749; P < .001), but not between the Plan B rate and the
general fertility rate (0.2446; P = .5970). CONCLUSION: This ecological study
represents, to the authors' knowledge, the first statistically significant
association between increasing rates of LNG EC distribution and decreasing
abortion rates.
