YRE’s own Dr. Tracey Wilkinson provided evidence-based testimony in a U.S. Congressional hearing last week on national threats to birth control access. Young people, she states, are particularly at risk.

“Minors are often targeted by restrictive policies and less able to use routes to abortion care common for adults—traveling to another state or using telehealth—leaving them disproportionately impacted” says YRE's own @lauralindberg.bsky.social in @jezebeldotcom.bsky.social

As Expected, Minors Are Among Those Most Impacted by Anti-Abortion Laws
“Without access to abortion, these girls have lost the ability to control their lives and their futures,” one researcher said.

New research from YRE's @lauralindberg.bsky.social & @juliemaslowsky.bsky.social finds that over 7 million girls ages 13-17 live in states that ban or severely restrict their abortion access! This means the majority of minors in the US now face stigmatizing barriers when seeking care. bit.ly/3EdIOnO

YRE members at @emoryrollins.bsky.social are currently seeking participants for an exciting new study aimed at learning more about parent, teen, and health provider communication! Want to take part in the TALKS study? Learn more at rsph.qualtrics.emory.edu/jfe/form/SV_...

New research from @nberpubs.bsky.social shows that thousands of young people have left states with near-total abortion bans since Dobbs. Young people deserve to plan their futures in their communities of choice and should not be coerced into leaving by these harmful restrictions

Abortion bans seem to be driving young people to move out of state
New research suggests that states could see huge economic implications.
