Men who avoid teen parenthood through partners’ use of abortion gain long-term economic benefits
Bethany Everett expressed, “It is important that we recognize the stigma women who
have abortions and abortion providers face, yet there are people—namely, their male
partners—who reap the benefits of this emotional labor and about whom we never talk.
What we found is that women’s use of abortion during adolescence increases the likelihood
that their male partners will graduate from college.”
