“It can be difficult to hear these stories day in and day out.'
After the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization effectively overturned Roe v. Wade on June 24, 2022, Scene writers joined forces with Cincinnati CityBeat reporters to forecast the future for abortion patients in Ohio.
The call for participants comes from researchers at UC working with OPEN to aggregate the lived experiences of abortion patients in a post-Roe world. In exchange for $100, study participants answer a series of questions about their experience seeking an abortion in the state.“It can be difficult to hear these stories day in and day out,” Gyuras told CityBeat.
“Long wait times lead to a lot of mental and emotional turmoil,” Gyuras said. “This whole process, it has huge costs related to financial costs, physical and social-emotional costs. It has been very hard for folks.” “Tamara was hurt and mad,” the study reads. “She was also scared she wouldn’t be able to get an abortion in Ohio because she was not sure if it was legal anymore. The first clinic in Ohio she called told her they weren’t scheduling appointments because they didn’t know if the temporary block on the 6-week ban would remain in place. She called that clinic four times and was disappointed that she was unable to schedule.
“I have been struck by the number of people who say having this conversation was helpful for them,” Gyuras said. “That they found it to be a way to process their experience.”Data on the impact of Dobbs on Ohio patients is still being collected by OPEN, but preliminary numbers in a February report show the overall number of abortions in the region decreased following the Dobbs decision.
