This project is my compilation of state-level abortion information over the past four decades. At completion, it will include a variety of variables, including demographic variables, legislative variables, and information about pro- and anti- abortion non-profits in each state.
This is an independent project and is not affiliated with any organization, company, or group.
Please see the Data Blueprint file for detailed information about the sources for each variable
This data is currently being compiled in a Python Pandas dataframe. I am making what I currently have publically available as a .CSV file.
I also include the source code I use to clean and compile this dataframe. I do not include the original datasets that the data come from, however, the Data Blueprint links to these sources.
This project is practice for me at using Python for data purposes. I have been trained using statistical software to carry out data analysis and visualization, and now I'm expanding my skills to a more general-purpose language. As such, please excuse any errors or coding faux pas. I do not have a background in computer science.
Cause I'm smashing this data together with duct tape.
