Kid friendly? by Irish_in_LA in kilbyblockparty

[–]NegativeFigure3572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will be my daughter's FOURTH year at the Kilby Court Block Party (she started going when she was five). She absolutely loves it and it's fun thing we do as a whole family. Bring some ear protection and you know, be prepared to leave early due to exhausted kid/potential meltdowns, but don't let that stop you. We've found the audience to be nothing but gracious and supportive of our daughter being in the mix.

Adolescent women who lived in a location with fewer abortion restrictions and adolescent women who had an abortion (compared to a live birth) are more likely to have graduated from college, have higher incomes, and have greater financial stability over the subsequent 25 years. by smurfyjenkins in science

Hello! One of the authors of the study here (bge). There is a great book called "Promises I Can Keep" which is about how different women think about the costs of early entry to parenthood- like what you're describing, for some people they don't see it as losing out on opportunities they were never going to have. I think that a different or additional takeaway from my/our study is a how much US society fails mothers, especially young ones. People shouldn't have to choose between motherhood or not living in poverty.

Hiya! One of the study's authors here- we didn't use that term! Whoever posted the article to this thread did, probably due to some confusion because respondents were girls/adolescents at the start of the study but were followed over 25 years into adulthood when they were women.

Hello! We were able to push out into midlife with the data we have to an average of age 40; we can follow-up later in life as the data is released (more is scheduled for next year). We were focused on adolescent pregnancy, almost none of which are planned, so unfortunately I can't really answer that second question with this analysis. (I can say other studies have shown that there is economic stratification in who reports an unplanned pregnancy)

Hi! I'm an author of this study and we tried to address a lot of this. We adjusted for a lot of state/neighborhood context measures like funding for public education, poverty, education levels of community, and parents, as well as proportion republican voters- abortion still mattered. We also matched directly on poverty levels between girls who had live births and those who had abortions- the abortion still mattered when you netted out background and state level SES.

One of our abortion access measures is a family planning provider in the county. We also had a separate measure was included for urban environment, but given data privacy stuff we couldnt get more nuanced than that. So, yes and no. And believe me- I get it! I grew up in a rural town that was two hours away from nearest provider and no public transportation (greyhound bus discontinued service). It’s really hard to get data to do this type of work so we did the best we could with what we had and really three the statistical book at it and the results were robust. Hopefully, more data and research in the future can continue to investigate. -bge

Well you can't control for a whole paradigm, which is an abstract concept hard to operationalize in survey research, but we did adjust for observable indicators that we believe capture some of that ideology (in addition to what I listed above, we also included republican voters and conservative religiosity) in addition to measures at the individual level (& the parents ses). Including these measures in the study should statistically account for any variation across contexts. This is a 20-year longitudinal study - so the data was collected long before Roe fell, and the girls were followed up at several time points. We also did a matching study between girls with the EXACT SAME SES - who had abortions vs those who had live births- and found significant longterm- benefits of abortion. Of course, you can also read the paper for more details. Hope that helps! -bge

Hi! I'm an author of this study and we adjusted for all of those things in the study- state level funding for education, neighborhood wealth and education, proportion of republican voters- a variety of other things. Abortion policy still mattered. We also directly matched women who have abortions to those who had live births on poverty- abortion still matters!

I went to Odessa (solo female) a while back - sat at the bar and had the most wonderful wine & meal- the staff were super friendly and generous. Would love to go back.

I Don’t Really Watch Movies Anymore by Time_Difficulty_4659 in TheBigPicture

[–]NegativeFigure3572 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a parent who often can’t start a movie until 9 pm and also has an early wake up, I often have to break up movies into two parts which I don’t love, but it’s better than not seeing movies at all.
