âIf you read only one book about democracy, The Turnaway Study should be it. Why? Because without the power to make decisions about our own bodies, there is no democracy." âGloria Steinem
âDr. Diana Greene Foster brings what is too often missing from the public debate around abortion: science, data, and the real-life experiences of people from diverse backgroundsâ¦This should be required reading for every judge, member of Congress, and candidate for officeâas well as anyone who hopes to better understand this complex and important issue.â âCecile Richards, cofounder of Supermajority, former president of Planned Parenthood, and author of Make Trouble
A groundbreaking and illuminating look at the state of abortion access in America and the first long-term study of the consequencesâemotional, physical, financial, professional, personal, and psychologicalâof receiving versus being denied an abortion on womenâs lives.
What happens when a woman seeking an abortion is turned away? Diana Greene Foster, PhD, decided to find out. With a team of scientistsâpsychologists, epidemiologists, demographers, nursing scholars, and public health researchersâshe set out to discover the effect of receiving versus being denied an abortion on womenâs lives. Over the course of a ten-year investigation that began in 2007, she and her team followed a thousand women from more than twenty states, some of whom received their abortions, some of whom were turned away.
Now, for the first time, the results of this landmark studyâthe largest of its kind to examine womenâs experiences with abortion and unwanted pregnancy in the United Statesâhave been gathered together in one place. Here Foster presents the emotional, physical, and socioeconomic outcomes for women who received their abortion and those who were denied. She analyzes the impact on their mental and physical health, their careers, their romantic lives, their professional aspirations, and even their existing and future childrenâand finds that women who received an abortion were almost always better off than women who were denied one. Interwoven with these findings are ten riveting first-person narratives by women who share their candid stories.
As the debate about abortion rights intensifies, The Turnaway Study offers an in-depth examination of the real-world consequences for women of being denied abortions and provides evidence to refute the claim that abortion harms women. With brilliant synthesis and startling statisticsâthat thousands of American women are unable to access abortions; that 99% of women who receive an abortion do not regret it five years laterâThe Turnaway Study is a necessary and revelatory look at the impact of abortion access on peopleâs lives. - Simon and Schuster
