Abstract

The Turnaway Study was the first to follow women denied abortions because of state law or facility policy over five years. The study has found negative effects on women’s socioeconomic status, physical health, and on their children’s wellbeing. However, women did not suffer lasting mental health consequences, prompting questions about the effects of denial on women’s emotions.
