New research is out today! We interviewed 30 patients who had telehealth abortions. By reducing various logistical hurdles and the potential of stigma at a clinic, telehealth mitigates what call structural abortion stigma.

A great writeup of my and Cate Taylor's ASR abortion study.

Abortion is an economic issue. "Widespread abortion bans/restrictions in the US are likely to lead to lower educational attainment & adult economic stability among women living under such restrictions, as compared to women in locations with better access..." journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

It got so busy here (WONDERFUL!)- so I'm sharing this again. My new paper in ASR with C Taylor on the long-term SES effects of abortion policy and access for women. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

The finest piece of my family history is that my great-great grandfather, William Owen of Topeka Kansas kept an Underground Railroad station and hosted John Brown.
