9/29What Happens Now that Roe Has Been Overturned?
What Happens Now that Roe Has Been Overturned?
Thursday, September 29th, 202202:00 PM - 03:15 PMHartford Campusvarious Presented by Caitlin Myers, Professor of Economics, Middlebury College. Within hours of the end of Roe, state abortion bans began to take effect and clinics began to close, leaving would-be patients with little time to lose scrambling to figure out where to go next in a shifting and unstable landscape. As stunning as this moment may be, it’s neither unprecedented nor unpredictable. We’ve seen changes in abortion access before, and economists have used data and statistics to study these “natural experiments”—situations where sudden localized change in access affords us an opportunity to isolate and measure causal effects. This type of quantitative research won’t tell the unique stories of women trying to figure out their next steps, but it can tell us something about their resolutions, providing a forecast of how many will likely ultimately reach a provider and how many, trapped by poverty and distance, will not find a way out. Professor Myers will describe these insights, providing a forecast for a post-Roe America covering changes in abortions and births and downstream effects on the economic lives of women and their families.
