Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The Roe v. Wade decision is top of mind for the public sector, many business leaders— even scientists. The Turnaway Study conducted at the University of California at San Francisco, found that receiving an abortion does not harm the health and well-being of women. In fact, it found that being denied an abortion results in worse financial, health and family outcomes. Another study by JAMA Psychiatry found that women seeking and being denied abortions reported significantly more mental health issues eight days later. They suffered more anxiety, poor self-esteem and low life satisfaction—but similar levels of depression—as women receiving abortions. Rumblings In The Workplace In response to the Roe v.

The Iowa Supreme Court then overturned its precedent in June after Reynolds appointed new justices to the court and it became more conservative, ruling abortion rights are not protected in a case concerning a mandatory 24-hour waiting period law that’s now been allowed … [Read more...] about Iowa Could Outlaw Abortion As Governor Asks Court To Let 6-Week Ban Take Effect
