Diana Greene Foster is a professor in the University of California, San Francisco’s Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Services and director of research at Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health (ANSIRH). She joins host Krys Boyd to talk about her longitudinal study focused on individual experiences, the subject of her book “The Turnaway Study: Ten Years, a Thousand Women, and the Consequences of Having or Being Denied an Abortion.”
