The Economic Consequences of Being Denied an Abortion
利用信用报告数据和Turnaway研究，比较了接近堕胎年龄限制的妇女在十年内的财务结果，发现被拒绝堕胎的妇女财务困境大幅增加并持续多年。
This paper evaluates the financial and economic consequences of being denied an abortion. We link credit report data to the Turnaway Study, which collected high-quality, longitudinal data on women receiving or being denied a wanted abortion in the United States. We compare financial outcomes over a ten-year period for women who had pregnancies just above and below a gestational age limit allowing for a wanted abortion. Outcomes evolved similarly for the two groups prior to the abortion encounter. Following the encounter, women who were denied an abortion experience a large increase in financial distress that remains for several years.
