Anyone got an evaluation of the study from someone who doesn't have a giant, obvious axe to grind? I just want to know if it's a good study or a bad study. Reading it myself doesn't bring up any obvious issues with the data, although it's definitely limited in scope, but interpretations and evaluations of it are all over the place (and generally in line with people's existing political biases.)

For reference, the study in question: http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMsa1511902#t=abstract

And an article about the controversy: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-health-official-steps-down-after-planned-parenthood-study/

It's not a secret that Planned Parenthood is a major provider of reproductive health care to the less well-off, where it exists. Why would this result be surprising?

Caveat: I only skimmed it.

That said: my sense was that it was a reasonably good study but with a fairly limited scope - all that it was really looking at was use of contraception. And it wasn't an exact study of that but it seemed like a reasonable attempt to capture peoples' ability to continue on planned contraception and to estimate unplanned pregnancies resulting from that.

It's not anything beyond that - it's certainly not a wide spectrum look at women's health, and I think some places are treating it as such. But I would feel reasonably confident in concluding that women's access to contraception has been harmed by restrictions on Planned Parenthood on the basis of the study.
