UCSF Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health Presents: The Turnaway Play

Join the UCSF Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health for a staged reading of The Turnaway Play. Based on the groundbreaking study conducted by Bixby researchers, the show tells the behind-the-scenes story of the study with humor and candor. It features the experiences of real women who received or were denied abortions across the United States.

The play is inspired and informed by the groundbreaking Turnaway Study, conducted by Dr. Diana Greene Foster, a 2023 MacArthur Fellow and researcher at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Foster followed 1,000 women from across the country for five years and obtained the first scientific results on the consequences people face when either having or being denied an abortion. The main finding of the Turnaway Study is that receiving an abortion does not harm the health and wellbeing of women, but in fact, being denied an abortion results in worse financial, health and family outcomes.
