| Abstract: |
Results from the Turnaway Study, conducted by Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health (ANSRH), have widely been represented as definitive proof that women denied access to abortion will suffer severe injury to their health and economic wellbeing. Yet a careful examination reveals that the study is based on a non-random, non-representative sample of women that grossly underrepresents the experiences of the majority of women undergoing abortions. In addition, a reanalysis of its reported results reveal that the effect size of the outcomes observed have been grossly overstated, leading to conclusions that are not supported by the results. There also appears to be selective reporting and misrepresentation of results previously published. In addition, inconsistencies in ANSRH’s published record strongly suggest that the credit history reports of the Turnaway Study participants were obtained without their informed consent.
