All Of It with Alison Stewart | Dec 1, 2021

[REBROADCAST FROM September 8, 2021] In light of the ongoing Supreme Court arguments over the future of abortion rights in the United States, we re-air our conversation with Dr. Diana Greene Foster, professor at the University of California San Francisco, and the leader of the Turnaway Study, a nationwide project which spends years following women who sought an abortion. The study examines the long-term effects of either having an abortion or being turned away. Foster joins us to discuss her research and her book, The Turnaway Study: Ten Years, a Thousand Women, and the Consequences of Having—or Being Denied—an Abortion.
