What actually happens when women are denied abortions, a 🧵 from a @UCSF study:
1/4 Denying a woman an #abortion creates economic hardship + insecurity which lasts for years: Abortion denial lowers credit scores, increases #debt, bankruptcies+evictions

2/4 Women turned away from getting an abortion are more likely to stay in contact with a violent partner, increasing their risk of murder. They are also more likely to raise the resulting child alone. #IPV #violence #domesticviolence
3/4 The financial wellbeing and development of living #children is negatively impacted when their mothers are denied abortion. Carrying an unwanted pregnancy to term is associated with poorer maternal bonding, such as feeling trapped, resenting the baby.

1/ Researchers @ucl @UCL_IfWH @UCLHresearch have developed a standard terminology for safety monitoring for pregnant women and their fetuses during development of drugs for pregnancy. #Pregnancy #AdverseEvents #MaternalSafety #fetus #MedDRA #MFAET

2/ Adverse Event (AE) monitoring is central to assess therapeutic safety. The lack of an AE framework in pregnancy trials severely limits understanding risks in pregnant women. #MFAET was developed by international consensus of healthcare professionals & patient public groups.
