After a thorough, data-driven analysis of 1,000 ethnically diverse people from across the country, to monitor their mental and physical health, careers, romantic relationships, and pair-bonding with their current and future children, Turnaway found that people who are refused an abortion suffer far more negative and damaging life consequences than those who are able to receive this basic universal form of healthcare.

We want to help people understand the real impact of abortion access - and to support informed, compassionate conversations about reproductive care.
