Diana Greene Foster, a professor at the University of California San Francisco, led a landmark study that analyzed 1,000 women over a five-year period.

Diana Greene Foster led The Turnaway Study, a landmark research study on the socioeconomic outcomes for Americans who are"turned away" from abortion.

The women in the study had all sought abortions at some point before the study commenced; not all received one.— Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New York and South Dakota — will choose whether to adopt state ballot measures about abortion access.Nationally, women under age 30 rank abortion as the most important issue to their vote on Election Day, according to the, which polled 649 women from Sept. 12 to Oct. 1.

still give contraceptives out. There are 20 states that have laws that say you should be able to get a year's supply at a time, but almost nowhere is that actually available. The law says you should be able to get it, but you don't. I led the studies that showed that if you make people go back for resupply every month or three months, as is very commonly done, you're much more likely to have an unintended pregnancy. The laws have changed, but practice hasn't changed.

People understand their circumstances, and they are very motivated to get care, even when their state tries to ban it.I'm actually studying the economic costs of the end of Roe and travel . Costs went up by $200 for people traveling out of state. People were delayed more than a week.
