 easures of political participation, which suggests that abortion may also s
 elect cohorts that are more likely to engage with politics. In this paper,

 tion in the 1970s in the U.S. had a significant impact on subsequent cohort
  outcomes, resulting in a significant reduction in fertility rates and indu
 cing sizable positive selection along a wide range of socio-economic outcom
 es. These same socio-economic outcomes are known to robustly correlate with
  measures of political participation, which suggests that abortion may also
  select cohorts that are more likely to engage with politics. In this paper
 , we test the hypothesis that the introduction of legalized abortion produc
 es similar selection effects on turnout. Our estimates suggest that legaliz
 ed abortion increased turnout rates among affected cohorts by 1.4 to 3.8 pe
 rcentage points.</p><h4><strong>Bio</strong></h4><p>James Lo is an Assistan
