Gloria Steinem The remarkable (The New Yorker) landmark study of the consequences on women's lives emotional physical financial professional personal and psychological of receiving versus being denied an abortion that should be required reading for every judge member of Congress and candidate for office as well as anyone who hopes to better understand this complex and important issue (Cecile Richards). What happens when a woman seeking an abortion is turned away? To answer this question Diana Greene Foster assembled a team of scientists psychologists epidemiologists demographers nurses physicians economists sociologists and public health researchers to conduct a ten - year study. They followed a thousand women from across America some of whom received abortions some of whom were turned away. Now for the first time Dr. Foster presents the results of this landmark study in one extraordinary groundbreaking book. Judges politicians and pro - life advocates routinely defend their anti - abortion stance by claiming that abortion is physically risky and leads to depression and remorse. Dr. Foster's data proves the opposite to be true. Foster documents the outcomes for women who received and were denied an abortion analyzing the impact on their mental and physical health their careers their romantic relationships and their other children if they have them. Women who received an abortion were better off by almost every measure than women who did not and five years after they receive an abortion 99 percent of women do not regret it.
