Patient Experiences with Pre-Abortion Healthcare Interactions in Ohio, West Virginia, and Kentucky after Dobbs
Clinic Adaptations and Changes in Abortion Use After Dobbs in Illinois, July 2021–June 2023
Objectives. To assess changes in abortion service delivery in Illinois after the Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision. Methods. We used data from a monthly survey of 2 Illinois abortion providers that provide half of Illinois’s abortions. We collected data from 2021 to 2023 on abortion counts, overall and stratified by method, gestation duration, and patient state. We compared pre- and post- Dobbs findings. Results. A total of 24 …
Seeking financial and practical support in an abortion‐hostile state
Compared with state data, KHJN supported a higher percentage of young people, people of color, and people at later gestations. These findings support evidence that structurally vulnerable groups are more likely to face barriers to care and that abortion funds provide essential support necessary for reproductive equity
Understanding abortion legality and trimester of abortion care in Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky, three abortion‐restrictive states
More than one in five patients presenting for abortion care in three abortion-restrictive states prior to Dobbs erroneously believed that abortion was illegal or were unsure. Understanding of legality was not significantly associated with timing of abortion care. These misunderstandings could escalate under Dobbs
Longitudinal Impact of Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization on Abortion Service Delivery in Ohio, 2022‒2023
Objectives. To assess the impact of Ohio’s abortion policy changes on abortion provision following Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization. Methods. We analyzed quantitative and write-in responses from an ongoing survey of 6 abortion facilities in Ohio for 3 time periods: January‒June 2022 (pre- Dobbs), July‒September 2022 (6-week ban in effect), and October 2022‒June 2023 (post- Dobbs, ban blocked). We disaggregated counts by method, gestati…
Policy Brief
Free, but at what cost? How US crisis pregnancy centres provide services
In the USA, the most popular form of anti-abortion activism, crisis pregnancy centres (CPCs), provide a variety of services to prevent abortions. Moving beyond debate about misinformation and the ethics of CPCs, this study considers the services they provide and given their popularity among state legislatures, their connection to the state. Using interviews with ten CPC staff in Ohio (a state providing support to CPCs) and supplemental data from …
Covid ‐19 and abortion in the Ohio River Valley
Although abortion provision continued in this region, policy changes restricting abortion in Ohio and West Virginia resulted in a decrease in first trimester instrumentation abortions, an overall shift toward medication abortion care, and an increase in stress among facility staff during the early phase of COVID-19
Abortion-Related Laws and Concurrent Patterns in Abortion Incidence in Indiana, 2010–2019
Objectives. To analyze abortion incidence in Indiana concurrent with changes in abortion-related laws. Methods. Using publicly available data, we created a timeline of abortion-related laws in Indiana, calculated abortion rates by geography, and described changes in abortion occurrence coincident with changes in abortion-related laws between 2010 and 2019. Results. Between 2010 and 2019, Indiana’s legislature passed 14 abortion-restricting laws, …
State of Confusion
This study examines an underexplored source of medical uncertainty: the political context of care. Since 2011, Ohio has passed over 16 abortion-restrictive laws. We know little about how this legislation affects reproductive health care outside of abortion clinics. Drawing on focus groups and interviews with genetic counselors and obstetrician-gynecologists, we examine how abortion legislation impacts their work. We find that interpretation and i…
Abortion Restrictions are Harmful to Everyone
I know that the recently leaked draft from the U.S. Supreme Court portends a decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health that will harm pregnant people and our society. From my expertise as a medical sociologist who studies abortion care, I know that allowing the restriction of abortion will result in more maternal deaths, more health disparities by race and class, more harm to families. I know abortion restrictions damage relationships between p…
“I felt like I was a bad person… which I’m not”
Stigma is present throughout everyday interactions but has particular salience for people seeking abortion care. Using Goffman’s conceptualization of stigma as a marker and enforcer of social ostracization, we expand on existing understandings of abortion stigma and its management. We draw on interviews with 12 clients and 10 staff members of crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) in Ohio to demonstrate how stigmatization around abortion begins before a…
Housing Stability and Access to General Healthcare and Reproductive Healthcare Among Women in Ohio
The double-edged sword of abortion regulations
Prior to the reversal of federal protections for abortion in 2022, OB/GYNs in Ohio and other abortion-hostile states experienced barriers to training in abortion care. In returning abortion regulation to the states, access to training is likely to be increasingly restricted. This research demonstrates how abortion-restrictions hamper physicians' skills needed to care for patients, particularly in emergent situations. This puts patients at risk an…
Community-based Systems Dynamics for Reproductive Health
Community-based system dynamics is well-suited for understanding complexity in the reproductive health system. It allows participants from diverse perspectives to identify strategies to eliminate racial inequities in reproductive health outcomes
Factors associated with never‐use of long‐acting reversible contraception among adult reproductive‐aged women in Ohio
Among ever-users of contraception, LARC never-use was associated with having conservative political views, being religious, and having a pro-life affiliation. Except for race/ethnicity, demographic and healthcare measures were not associated with LARC never-use among women in Ohio
How Ohio's proposed abortion bans would impact travel distance to access abortion care
Ohio's proposed abortion bans would substantially increase travel distances to abortion care, impacting over 2.2 million reproductive-aged Ohioans
Selecting an Abortion Clinic
Recent shifts in the abortion provision landscape have generated increased concern about how people find abortion care as regulations make abortion less accessible and clinics close. Few studies examine the reasons that people select particular facilities in such constrained contexts. Drawing from interviews with 41 Ohio residents, we find that people's clinic selections are influenced by the risks they associate with abortion care. Participants'…

Abortion Access in Ohio’s Changing Legislative Context, 2010–2018
Objectives. To examine abortion utilization in Ohio from 2010 to 2018, a period when more than 15 abortion-related laws became effective. Methods. We evaluated changes in abortion rates and ratios examining gestation, geographic distribution, and abortion method in Ohio from 2010 to 2018. We used data from Ohio’s Office of Vital Statistics, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Abortion Surveillance Reports, the American Community Surv…
I guess I do have to take back what I said before, about television
Research on television as a source of childbearing information is divided on its importance. Drawing from a sample of 64 pregnant women in the greater New York and Connecticut metropolitan area, we examine how women understand the influence of television on their expectations for pregnancy and birth. A sizable minority (44%) regularly watched reality television programmes on childbearing; all engaged in active viewing practices, such as recognisi…

Don't Step on My Groove
This article utilizes a symbolic interactionist framework to examine how gender is, and is not, salient in 'depth-listening' practices. Based on qualitative interviews with male and female fans of contemporary 'angry' rock music by female performers, the author shows that men and women engage in similar processes of cultivation (especially with regard to emotion) in depth listening, but that they also employ gender as a socio-semiotic resource to…

Does state-level context matter for individuals' knowledge about abortion, legality and health? Challenging the ‘red states v. blue states’ hypothesis
Recently, the hypothesis that state-level political context influences individuals' cultural values--the 'red states v. blue states' hypothesis--has been invoked to explain the hyper-polarisation of politics in the USA. To test this hypothesis, we examined individuals' knowledge about abortion in relation to the political context of their current state of residence. Drawing from an internet-survey of 586 reproductive-age individuals in the USA, w…
