📣It's here! Just published in Nature Medicine: Among of over 6,000 patients of telehealth abortion was as safe and effective as found in previous studies of in-person medication abortion care. Full paper linked below and a longer tweet thread to follow soon. 👇🏽
In a prospective study across US states where abortion remains legal, telehealth medical abortion, provided primarily without tests, was effective, safe and comparable to previous large US studies investigating in-person medication abortion care.

People who have abortions often go on to have successful, wanted pregnancies later in life. But our research finds that people who are denied abortion care are less likely to grow their families later. We all deserve to grow our families on our own terms.

"The outcomes we found for women who were denied an abortion closely reflect the reasons women gave for not wanting to carry a pregnancy to term in the first place." Read @Dianagfoster's powerful op-ed in @Salon on the #TurnawayStudy.

I’ve seen a post-Roe world. It’s not one anyone wants to live in

Thank you, @RepKatiePorter for sharing Turnaway Study results on the consequences of access to abortion on the health, economic security and wellbeing of families!
Women denied abortion are 4x more likely to live in poverty. They're more likely to be in poor health, more likely to be unemployed, and more likely to have bad credit. With my whiteboard, I showed how government-mandated pregnancies can damage Americans' futures ⬇
