Women who were turned away after seeking an abortion were more likely to experience poverty for years afterward, a 2018 study found.
Alabama has passed the country’s most restrictive abortion law after state lawmakers approved outlawing the procedure even in cases of rape or incest. The law, which Republican Gov. Kay Ivey signed Wednesday, was designed to set up a U.S. Supreme Court battle that could overturn the landmark 1973 Roe vs. Wade ruling that effectively legalized abortion.
The study drew from the experiences of nearly 1,000 women who sought abortions between 2008 and 2010 at 30 abortion facilities in 21 states and compared outcomes for those who were denied abortions due to term restrictions to those who were able go through with the procedure. The study followed the women for five years and was the first long-term study in the U.S.
The anti-abortion group National Right to Life did not respond immediately to a request for comment. The group acknowledges on its website that financial considerations are a factor for women seeking abortions. “A lot of people, even couples who have been married for years, find the prospect of raising and caring for a child intimidating. Yet, the baby comes, and somehow the bills get paid,” NRLC says on a fact sheet on its website.
