Pro-life groups are questioning the timing of Sage Publishing’s decision to retract three studies where the authors had “affiliations with pro-life advocacy organizations” including the Charlotte Lozier Institute (CLI). Two of those studies are cited in an abortion pill lawsuit set to be heard before the United States Supreme Court in March.<\/p>\n

The three now-<\/a>retracted<\/a> studies<\/a> were led by researcher James Studnicki (who reportedly<\/a> trained at Johns Hopkins University) and published in Sage’s journal \u201cHealth Services Research and Managerial Epidemiology.\u201d Two were funded by the Charlotte Lozier Institute (CLI), the research arm of the pro-life organization Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America<\/a>. In addition, several of the authors were also associated with CLI.<\/p>\n
