📣It's here! Just published in Nature Medicine:
Among of over 6,000 patients of telehealth abortion was as safe and effective as found in previous studies of in-person medication abortion care.
Full paper linked below and a longer tweet thread to follow soon. 👇🏽
I always love reading about the new MacArthur fellows. For me, it's especially significant that @Dianagfoster-- whose groundbreaking work in set the stage for understanding the causal impacts of abortion denial is one of the honorees.
Today, @ANSIRH’s @Dianagfoster was recognized with a @macfound “Genius Grant.” You can listen to her talk about her groundbreaking work on ACCESS: https://t.co/wHh66yyrjt
After Dobbs, countless people have been forced to give birth to babies they didn't want or weren't ready for. Lationna Halbert is one of them. Here's my months-long project following the financial fallout after someone can't get the abortion they seek: https://t.co/zB4QKpXrHX
ANSIRH's @Dianagfoster was named one of the top 10 most influential scientists of 2022 by @Nature for her study of what happens to women who are denied abortions. Read more from @UCSF. https://t.co/eRRGTP1O8o
People who have abortions often go on to have successful, wanted pregnancies later in life.
But our research finds that people who are denied abortion care are less likely to grow their families later.
We all deserve to grow our families on our own terms.
Our very own @Dianagfoster is included in @Nature's list of ten people who helped shape science in 2022. These individuals helped to make amazing discoveries and brought attention to crucial issues. Congrats! 🎉
"The outcomes we found for women who were denied an abortion closely reflect the reasons women gave for not wanting to carry a pregnancy to term in the first place." Read @Dianagfoster's powerful op-ed in @Salon on the #TurnawayStudy. https://t.co/qemEDosf6f
Remember when @POTUS fiiiiiiiiiinally said the word “abortion” and issued those executive orders in response to the Dobbs decision?
Well, one of those orders instructed @HHSGov to issue a report. Because I’m a nerd for reports on abortion, I wondered, “where is that report?” 🙋🏻♂️
Rita Liu made this stunning comic for The @guardian, explaining how the Turnaway Study and other research demonstrate that forcing people to carry their pregnancies to term causes profound harm and entrenches generational poverty.
Thank you, @RepKatiePorter for sharing Turnaway Study results on the consequences of access to abortion on the health, economic security and wellbeing of families!
Women denied abortion are 4x more likely to live in poverty. They're more likely to be in poor health, more likely to be unemployed, and more likely to have bad credit.
With my whiteboard, I showed how government-mandated pregnancies can damage Americans' futures ⬇
CLAIM: "GOP had 40 year plan to get rid of Roe; Dems had nothing"
FALSE!!!!! #40yearplan#Roe#democrats
Here's how things ACTUALLY happened
Excuse all typos....I'm rushing. I hate seeing a field in which I have expertise butchered on social media. It's repulsive.
