On October 26th, the Associated Press published a <\/span>story<\/span><\/a> entitled, \u201cLow-wage workers bear financial brunt of denied abortions.\u201d It suggests that women who cannot afford to raise children should be able to kill them instead via legalized abortion. Citing \u201cresearch\u201d from the Turnaway Study, which has been <\/span>thoroughly<\/span><\/a> debunked<\/span><\/a> multiple times<\/span><\/a> by a <\/span>variety<\/span><\/a> of <\/span>sources<\/span><\/a>, including Live Action News, they <\/span>claim<\/span><\/a> that denying women abortions \u201coften leads to increased rates of unpaid debt, poverty, evictions, and bankruptcies over the next five years\u201d and that \u201c[c]arrying an unwanted pregnancy quadruples the odds that a woman and her child will live below the federal poverty line[.]\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The problem with this argument is that it relies entirely on \u201cevidence\u201d obtained from a fatally flawed study conducted by deeply biased researchers\/pro-abortion activists who make their livings from \u2013 you guessed it \u2013 abortion.<\/span><\/p>\n
