Women need abortions to make more money, scholars argueRestrictions on the killing of preborn babies are harmful to women because they affect their earning potential, a new study argues.Professor Eden King and her co-authors were motivated by the 2022 Supreme Court ruling Dobbs v. Jackson, which affirmed there is no federal right to abortion. King said she disagreed with the idea that abortion restrictions do not affect a woman’s economic situation and so wanted to study the issue.The study, published in the Journal of Applied Psychology, argues women have lower earnings when they have kids.“[T]his study finds that women who had an abortion or avoided pregnancy early in their careers were associated with significantly higher earnings over time compared with those who became mothers,” the authors wrote. “Reproductive decisions are not just a health issue, but an economic one.”In addition to suggesting subsidized maternity leave and daycare, the authors also want taxpayers and companies to pay for abortion.“Access to abortion may help safeguard women’s economic standing and workforce participation,” they write. “Because of state-level variation in access, employees may benefit from employer sponsored travel and reproductive health care support.”One of the authors though said the paper does not argue women should have abortions or delay having kids to make more money.“No, we don’t suggest abortion or delaying children is needed to have higher earnings, rather we looked at the association between reproductive decisions and income earning trajectories,” Professor Nicola Lawrence-Thomas told The Fix via email. She teaches at the University of Sheffield in England.“We found women who had children later or didn’t have children early [earned] more overall,” the professor wrote.She declined to comment on whether she would recommend women delay having kids.
