The 757 participants in this analysis reported a total of 1,304 one-year plans.
We used mixed effects logistic regression to assess the relationship between receiving versus being denied abortion and having an aspirational one year goal and achieving it. Participants were interviewed by telephone one week, six months and one year after they sought an abortion. The sample included women in one of four groups: Women who presented for abortion just over the facility’s gestational limit, were denied an abortion and went on to parent the child (Parenting Turnaways, n = 146) or did not parent (Non-Parenting Turnaways, n = 64), those who presented just under the facility’s gestational limit and received an abortion (Near-Limits, n = 413) and those who presented in the first trimester and received an abortion (First Trimesters, n = 254).
Methodsĭata are from the Turnaway Study, a prospective cohort study of women recruited from 30 abortion facilities across the US. Few studies have investigated whether an abortion enables women to achieve such goals. Women commonly report seeking abortion in order to achieve personal life goals.
