A Scientific Case for Abortion Access: Dr. Diana Greene Foster on the Turnaway Study

For the 131st episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes Dr. Diana Greene Foster, who's responsible for some fascinating and groundbreaking research on abortion and contraceptives.

Dr. Foster is a professor at the University of California-San Fransisco, the director of research at ANSIRH, and the author of The Turnaway Study: Ten Years, a Thousand Women, and the Consequences of Having—Or Being Denied—An Abortion. In this episode, we dive into the Turnaway Study — why she started the study, how the study was conducted, her hypothesis and how it lined up with the results, what Gloria Steinem said about her book, and more.
