Please join Professor Caitlin Myers for a talk entitled "Who’s trapped in post-Dobbs America?". The end of Roe sparked seismic shifts in the landscape of American abortion access; 20 months later it is far from stable. Abortion bans have shuttered providers, and the resulting flows of patients across state borders have taxed a small number of facilities at the front lines. As doors closed at brick-and-mortar abortion clinics, digital windows opened. Online abortion providers have proliferated, and virtual abortion services provided by mail-order pills have surged by more than 80 percent. Professor Myers will present the most recent available evidence on how these changes are affecting people seeking abortions, with a focus on quantifying how many people are "trapped" by abortion bans and how many continue to find a way to access these services. She also will discuss the potential impacts of future legislation and judicial rulings. Caitlin Knowles Myers is the John G. McCullough Professor of Economics and Director of the Middlebury Initiative for Data and Digital Methods. She primarily teaches courses on statistics, regression analysis, data science, and causal inference, and her scholarship applies these tools to identify and measure the causal effects of abortion policies and abortion access on people’s lives. Her work has been published in leading academic journals as well as featured by media outlets including The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and NPR. Professor Myers led an amicus brief signed by 150 leading economists that detailed the effects of Roe v. Wade on demographic, health, and economic outcomes. She is visiting Washington to testify before the Senate Budget Committee on the economic implications of reproductive rights. Light appetizers and refreshments provided; please register by Sunday, February 25 so that we may provide your name to building security.
