Laura J. Lederer is the co-author of a study which proves a direct connection between human trafficking, health care providers, and abortion, "The Health Consequences of Sex Trafficking and Their Implications for Identifying Victims in Healthcare Facilities." She unequivocally supports the Parental Notice of Abortion Act.

During this press conference, she laid out key findings from the study that show “because of physical and emotionally abusive situations trafficking victims often seek healthcare providers for abortions, treatments of injuries, or birth control among other health issues. These encounters with healthcare providers offer a life-saving opportunity for trafficking victims since they are alone with a trained authority who can contact family members or law enforcement on their behalf.”

She shared 88 percent of the survivors said while they were being trafficked, they had contact with some kind of healthcare provider. Sixty-three percent reported being taken to a hospital ER and 57 percent went to a neighborhood or women’s clinic.

According to the study, 71 percent of survivors became pregnant at least once while being trafficked. Twenty-one percent said they became pregnant five times or more, and 55 percent reported at having at least one abortion. Thirty percent of trafficking survivors who become pregnant reported undergoing multiple abortions.

Of the women who had abortions, 68 percent were performed at a clinic, 16 percent at hospital, and 14 percent were performed by “other.” Over half of the survivors who had abortions reported they were forced to do so by their trafficker. According to Lederer, others said they were “beaten around their stomachs or womb” when their traffickers knew they were pregnant.
