College-Frauen sind bereit, mehr für Empfängnisverhütung zu bezahlen, wenn Abtreibung illegal ist. Die neue Studie legt nahe, dass der rechtliche Status der Abtreibung einen Einfluss darauf hat, wie College-Frauen Verhütungsmittel bewerten.

I’ve linked to the news release in the post above. In this comment, for those interested, here’s the link to the peer reviewed journal article:

From the linked article:
**College women willing to pay more for contraception when abortion is illegal**
**A new study suggests that the legal status of abortion impacts how college women value contraceptives**. Researchers found that when women imagine a scenario where abortion is illegal, they demonstrate a higher willingness to pay for emergency contraception and condoms. These findings appeared in the Archives of Sexual Behavior.
Did this require a study? Basic economics. Option A is unavailable. Demand for Option B increases.
I have the feeling this will be used to justify banning abortions. It’s an n=109 study where women were instructed to „imagine“ abortion being available or not. I can’t access the full study methods and results, but until there are a bunch of follow up studies confirming that interpretation, I am exceedingly skeptical of its validity.
