‘Unplanned Parenthood’ professor’s research maps out post-Roe abortion travel destinations
A Vermont economics professor has constructed a database to map out the nearest abortion clinic available to women who live in states with abortion bans following the reversal of Roe v. Wade.
Middlebury College’s Caitlin Myers created the “Myers Abortion Facility Database,” which displays how legal changes to abortion access affect the abortion rate, birth rate, and changes to the number of available abortion centers.
The current version of the map incorporates data from facilities that performed abortions going back from 2009 through May 2023. Myers launched the project in July 2021.
Myers looked at Planned Parenthood directories across the country to check the operation status of abortion clinics, and has also employed 25 undergraduate research assistants to call the facilities for more information.
In the landmark Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization Supreme Court case that overturned Roe v. Wade, Myers filed an amicus brief in favor of abortion and compiled research on the supposed importance of terminating a pregnancy for women’s health. Her work was also used to claim that abortion distances would place an undue burden on women who would have difficulties accessing an abortion clinic.
After the Dobbs ruling in 2022, Myers performed an “Abortion Appointment Availability Survey” to examine the effects of “trigger bans” on abortion access. The project received funding from the Society of Family Planning (SFP), as well as Middlebury College.
SFP is an organization that advocates for “abortion and contraception practices and policies grounded in science and that center people whose access to care is constrained by systems of oppression.”

Because college-aged persons are too stupid to figure this out for themselves…
For the record (from https://cmyers.middcreate.net/):
“I am the John G. McCullough Professor of Economics at Middlebury College and Co-Director of the Middlebury Initiative for Data and Digital Methods. I primarily teach courses on statistics, regression analysis, and causal inference, and my scholarship applies these tools to identify and measure the causal effects of abortion policies and abortion access on people’s lives.”
The dismal science of economics just got a lot more dismal.
Economics was invented to make astrology appear respectable.

They just keep proving to us how abortion is not a holy sacrament to them.
Good! They will not be able to pass their stupidity on to future generations of offspring. They will wither away alone in their old age.
