Turns out, abortion does NOT harm women's mental health (reshare)

This is a reshare from last fall.

Yesterday marked three years since the Dobbs decision overturned Roe v Wade. Seems apt to reshare this one, where I interviewed the brilliant researchers behind the Turnaway Study out of UCSF. Dr. Diana Greene Foster, who designed and led the 10+ year study, published her book summarizing the findings in June 2020. When I asked her what she expected when she started writing, her response was "I thought the topic would be moot and the book would be of academic interest only."

Oh, how I wish that were true.

Here is your annual reminder that ABORTION IS HEALTHCARE…
