Abstract

This paper evaluates the financial and economic consequences of being denied an abortion. We link credit report data to the Turnaway Study, which collected high-quality, longitudinal data on women receiving or being denied a wanted abortion in the United States. We compare financial outcomes over a ten-year period for women who had pregnancies just above and below a gestational age limit allowing for a wanted abortion. Outcomes evolved similarly for the two groups prior to the abortion encounter. Following the encounter, women who were denied an abortion experience a large increase in financial distress that remains for several years. (JEL G51, I18, J13, J16)

被拒绝堕胎的经济后果

本文评估了被拒绝堕胎的财务和经济后果。我们将信用报告数据与Turnaway研究联系起来，该研究收集了美国接受或被拒绝堕胎的妇女的高质量纵向数据。我们比较了怀孕刚好超过和低于允许堕胎的胎龄限制的妇女在10年期间的财务结果。在流产之前，这两组人的结局相似。在那次遭遇之后，被拒绝堕胎的妇女经历了持续数年的经济困境。(j51, j18, j13, j16)
