June 2022 saw the U.S. Supreme Court end the federal constitutional right to abortion, beginning a new era of litigation over whether individual states would preserve that right.
The same month also saw a new chapter in arguments over publications by Priscilla K. Coleman, a retired Bowling Green State University professor of human development and family studies whose work was cited in an amicus brief in that Supreme Court case. Coleman criticized the “turnaway” study—acclaimed research that buttresses arguments for abortion rights—while some turnaway study researchers have criticized Coleman’s research.
In the turnaway study, demographer Diana Greene Foster and her team identified hundreds of women who’d sought abortions and kept in touch with them for five years. Some of the women in the group had been turned away (hence “turnaway”) from abortion providers for being up to three weeks over the gestational limit, so Foster was able to draw comparisons over time between patients who got abortions and those who wanted them but were denied.
