[inaudible conversations] >> welcome to bookings. i run the center, and my former codirector is fortunately here to watch me carefully and correct all of my errors. i'm glad that you were able to come this morning. our audiences -- if we start at 9:30 a.m., everyone comes at 9:40 a.m. it's amazing how that works out. going to make some introductions, and then we will have a review of the volume. we're here to talk primarily

about the policy brief, but the volume, if you want to go to one place to know about the status of research and thinking about marriage, this volume is it. it's an extremely good volume. eight or seven chapters on various aspects of marriage, including several thought to have several chapters with focus on birth control. we decided to focus this event on birth control, so that's what we're here to talk about. when bell finishes were reviewing the pope -- when he finishes reviewing the volume, i will review the policy brief. we will give you a chance to a chance to ask some questions after we ask questions and have a panel, a magnificent panel of people who are great experts on this issue. i'll ask him some questions and hopefully we'll have some disagreements command that will give the audience a chance to stop the panel. in introducing bill, this

wonderful book -- i put a tag on your termite myself which chapter. so chapter six in this volume is something on this topic that i think is about as good as you're going to get for a short treatment. there is nothing better. so bell saw hill, she does not get to talk about birth control. ..

>> >> it has been a wonderful partnership for over a a decade and has suggested i think this volume is one of the best we have ever done. we did a volume about 10 years ago one marriage and were asked to revise and update this year with a new set of authors did they were tricked people and they all vote great chapters they cannot possibly do justice to whole volume.

take your copies outside and feel free to take one i will show you the table of contents see you can get a sense of what is in the volume and who is contributing. i can just give you the highlights and a few comments. as you know, marriages in retreat and declining from about 85% 1950 now is about 60% for the age group between 30 and 44. the revenue looked at ec decline. marriages declining doesn't mean people are not still having children they are

just having them outside of marriage instead of inside. here is the data on that issue it you can see we have very high rates of unwed childbearing overall is 40% of all kids born outside of marriage. this varies by class and race. if you look at education as the proxy for socio-economic status or class, the race declines sharply with more education but keep in mind this last category of a the college-educated is still a small group so the other referred to the other 70% so

there are racial gaps we have an entire chapter on these by race and class. we also had an entire chapter on same-sex marriages be prepare the volume the supreme court was considering what to do and they finally legalized same-sex marriage that made this whole discussion very interesting and timely. and leading up to all the court this issues was whether same-sex couples are good for kids or not if this is a good environment to raise kids and research studies on that not all of them from equal merit but our author did a nice review of that evidence including

the legal background and finally he concludes after looking over the evidence that you cannot come to rue the conclusion that same-sex relationships are not good for kids. what the studies have suggested if the kids did not do so well if that was during an era or period of time during the stigma or lack of legalization they were bored into unstable circumstances as a product of the opposite sex marriage that after a the couple broke up gay or lesbian parents moved into a same-sex relationship and the children moved with them and most researchers believe

that is not good for kids. in the future it will be very different and my book talks about people drifting into km and died use that very cautiously because i think that is what is happening is unplanned pregnancies but in the same sex world when people have kids they do by choice we had another interesting chapter to which that the child who grows up in a two-parent family better than a one pair of family? in married families better than cohabitating families?

and there was the 10 that led to a consensus that on average a growing up in a two-parent very family is better for kids and not. that said, why should it matter? because they are self selected with other characteristics. but he goes to the other reasons to have evidence to make the difference for children and if we wanted to replace marriage to make up the lost income of the second parent with the

benefits that were derived from marriage. we had a large debate of the production of the volume and the authors but the issue is why these are the unusual factors that are debated and talk about their clearly less dependent not what they need or their economic well-being then there is the argument they have not been doing well in the labor market that makes them less marriageable there are

arguments rather government programs you marry someone that has additional income you may become ineligible for various programs and haskins as a nice job to read you that and other government programs with their education and others of the bill get to. web like to talk about how our language has changed it used to be someone who had that baby outside of marriage was called illegitimate. recently three or four decades ago we use that? , may. those ever cohabitating

living in sin. imagine using that today. that is a change how much there has been. a big advocate for how we need to change the culture to bring back to support very drove an ice chapter with his co-author on that set of issues. there were some differences of opinion of the relative importance but everybody agreed the cannot say it is one or the other. this is there anything we can do about the trends if they have not been ideal for children? they pioneered a set of

marriage education programs those were carefully vibrated and we had the results and they're not very encouraging. edition we could move the neil very much some people would say we need to try harder and that is a legitimate argument. other people argue the need to reduce the marriage penalties from tax and benefit programs we have done a fair amount of that already it is very expensive because it requires move seeing eligibility pretty far up the income scale then you get into a bigger part of income distribution and it cost a lot of money and there isn't a lot of evidence that moves the needle behaviorally. that is an issue but i don't

think it has gotten a lot of promise. next we have improving ensor women's economic prospects hoping that will help them to form a more stable union at least. that is a big issue of late and one of the most interesting chapters is the one by a professor schneider at berkeley who looked at 15 social experiments designed to improve the economic status of men or women and all of those programs have been evaluated using random like -- randomized control trials looking at the economic status of the recipients.

but 15 of them have evidence on what happened to marriage and with two exceptions to improve mail economic prospects did not move the needle on marriage there is a lot more increase of rates so the final issue is one that we will spend the most of the morning talking about is reducing unplanned pregnancies if you think what i have started with anything to is having the kids 60 percent of the birth

is unplanned so that'd solid so we could debate if there is a nuance of what that means and if that's the case one way to improve the prospects of the children to help the women as well is to enable them to only have children they really want to and feel ready that means older and maurer likely and what it came out of this entire effort to produce this volume where we so i

will stop and now turn over to ron. >> she already gave my introduction in that if you're interested in marriage to the bid has a big impact for that intervention of random steadies' pretty much the only thing that consistently has shown an impact. >> only thing consistent is the non marital births and there is some evidence to

have a greater chance to marry and also to have a more stable marriage. this would be something they would focus on not that they do in the real world. but this is the strategy that makes a difference. with non marital births and birth control. >> to have that the dermis increase after five minutes now live gore repeated the message is if there is something that results in not good for children or

four couples then it is of problem and it is getting worse and worse. with that stability over the last decade will get the rate of non marital births of etiquette is between 18 and 54 we still have these enormous but for some reason it seems to have slowed down a little bit that is a good thing. here comes the aspect so too is having all of these non marriage and birth? and to take action as a

result in more spending? there are big ethnic differences between blacks and hispanics and whites. maybe they know that famous article tuesday that blacks cannot take advantage of all of the whites in the '60s as a result of the revolution. but now i think landau what do we do? to spread through the sincerity when dash decided now it is higher than mine

and happy report of the impact on blacks so there will be differences among the ethnic groups and equally bad the same thing is true of education levels so long as a plus education are to have a non marital births those that are having more. but there is one impact for mother and children and the father as well. there much more likely to live in poverty i haven't met anyone who makes the claim poverty is good for kids or adults. can you think of any intervention? five times better than the control group? but then kids are five times as likely to be poor if they

are in a single parent family. so clearly there is a big impact on poverty if you just want to summarize, and there are many of their outcomes at least one hybrid called decent steady featuring a random assignment steadies' reducing poverty rates, no question about that. a lot of evidence of slower abortion rates because women you are pregnant outside of marriage is more likely to get an abortion and an increased likelihood of prenatal care kids are twice as likely to get prenatal care if it is planned rather than an unplanned pregnancy.

the reduced rates biting about almost all of these with cost savings for government may be day are exaggerated but a uts cost race for every dollar of cost does not include any long-term benefits and there is a review for the university of michigan that shows the big long-term impact of second-generation a kid to do better they get more education nobody has taken that into account as far as i know. this is a spectacular a list

of advantages if we could do something about not marital births the community is better off in the nation is better off because the government saves money. >> given the last decade increasingly the contraception that includes iud and last up to 10 years could have the huge impact on pregnancy rates for women who want to avoid pregnancy they have roughly show the same kind of thing in the probability is she is on various types of birth control.

she is nine times as likely to get pregnant i would not focus but educe huge if birth control produces could outcomes then we want to focus on what we will do this morning. we invite people to participate in the panel we will reflect on these in more detail. initial cost is more than the pill but in the long run it saves money not to mention the impact so if you spend the money now you

don't have to spend it later of lot of administrative issues you have to have people available on-site you don't want them to say have birth control. ted education in the various forms rebel when the situation were they feel they are pressured so that is dead wood dash good social economic issues. so we have a great opportunity some debt relief for that establishing the campaign there a great

organization to measure accurately so we're on the right track so we hope to make the issue of more clear. have a 50 minute introduction. [laughter] with her background. [laughter] we have the idea they can all talk but very few can write more than a sentence. we're around policymakers the yankee rowe and editorial.

and i saw who is this guy? this is the real focus since he has been elected was preschool. so they could clear the schedule and he is the doctor, a pediatric neurologist and undergraduate degree and a medical degree not only is the active in practice but he teaches. does and get a good night's sleep very often. [laughter] and his political career began in 2000 when he was elected to the state set for but want to tell you that i know for sure he is very open-minded individual. i know that because his

residency at the diversity of birth carolina chapel hill that is popular in end virginia. thank you very much for coming. [applause] >> good morning. thank you for that kind introduction. i have two children he is doing neurosurgery trading in chapel hill that was not his first race by he is enjoying it down there to work hard having a good experience. they give for your comments and i appreciate the opportunity to be here this morning to take me away from where i practice medicine in the city of richmond is ever capital in virginia it is

nice to get a day in the nation's capital her also to thank them of breaking his institution fall of the great work there will be doing. i will try to go through the next 10 or 50 minutes to explain that that as a practitioner is a pediatric neurologist and as a policy maker the concept of contraception as of way to decrease unplanned pregnancy or the number of abortions not only in virginia but in this country and our society but also to increase the health and well-being of our children and their families. it is an important concept

for a practitioner and policy maker. a lot of people don't realize the of lieutenant governor on paper is a part-time job so unless you are independently wealthy, i know you are. [laughter] so we continue to have another job of a pediatric neurologist about 15 in 18 patients per day is what i see a lot of my patients are teenagers reaction eac patients after age 80 that most of my population starts prenatal and interestingly

they have migraines better on medication to affect the health and well-being of a fetus. so we deal with individuals in that age group and that is it interesting discussion so low to prevent those pregnancies in that time of your life is important. the second comment is we see a lot of individuals as a peter are a - - pediatric pathologist is in intensive care we could maintain life at 22 weeks of a newborn for better or worse that becomes a challenge the morbidity in

a fetus is very high. they're not all good outcomes. for initially so what happens to take care of these babies conservatives away is 1 million maybe about four or $5 million in the neonatal intensive care unit. what i have found because when you take care of babies you take care of patients and mothers and while oftentimes the mother become pregnant with the second or third baby.

so how do we stop this process and the mother may be less than 20 and have to read three children per ago i described it as a vicious cycle of poverty so i have lots that during my 25 years of practice as it carries over to policy making. when we talk about ways to help the families that i have been to home visits if you want to help the mothers and children if we can get into the home to help them get back contract is one of the best investments, how do

we take the data to move into the policy area? but there are concepts that make it so much more challenging policy lies. personally i feel if you went to bed that curve of poverty to decrease the rate of one plant pregnancies the best way to do that is through education and access. but to do talk about the reality of policy making

we're not here to throw stones that what is the of philosophy zero or of the approach of individuals? if you're keeping up with the news we had the infamous vaginal ultrasound that most people would agree would make it more difficult for women who have chosen that avenue who have had abortions and i of the zero a practicing physician in the senate so when it was time to debate what a better person than a pediatric urologist? it was saved a little bit of they averting curve that we were able to educate folks

to save the purpose it did not add very much to was very costly. we took care of that. then a bill that they report a miscarriage to the police. really? what about your provider or physician? also the infamous person could kill a state bill also a national port it says that life starts with conceptions of the concern over the bill is how contraceptives work but possibly it could make most forms lawful and also

we had to track those that were intended to shut down so it is one approach versus the other pieces of legislation end of the trek is to bring these folks together over a five-year of unplanned pregnancies went down 40% in the age group than the number of abortions and those are good numbers so the message that i try to give my colleague is let's agree the less the better

than they can move forward to talk about the data to make the case this is the good direction. ic these cards over here feel like i am in a debate and i start to have flashbacks. [laughter] first the affordable care act covers all ports of men -- ed has an option for states but unfortunately the virginia has chosen not to expand medicaid. what that does we have paid

in through the taxes all we're trying to do is bring that back to individual states to provide coverage for up to 400,000 working virginians for those that have one or two or three jobs but the cost of health care has gone up much faster than salaries. these the don't have coverage are women who cannot make choices. they are mentally ill who don't have access to the medications to end up in the emergency room and our veterans. but these of the veterans

coming home from afghanistan and iraq the least we can do is provide those folks access to quality health care and from a business perspective about 4.5 million dollars of commonwealth is contributing to do we compete with the over politics. since january 2014 when we had the option to expand medicaid, we have given away more than 2.$8 billion. that is a lot of money we can use for education. so finally bader redoing in virginia? we are committed to the health and well-being of our children and families for the first time the governor formed a children's cabinet there several individuals

that set on that but within that the commonwealth council for childhood is looking at several areas the first of which is pre-k for the we feel very strong that is a non-partisan issue there is a tremendous learning potential before they ever reach kindergarten so reapplied for a grant to and received a grant so we're using that to provide access. grosso looking at child-care as most parents are both working it is important to have quality and affordable and accessible child care to make sure that they're healthy immunizations are up to date, and good nutrition nutrition, of but one of the areas are home visits when

one goes into the home that seizes to read three children out kerry held that family? education and access to medical care or contraception to get them out of that right or that vicious cycle of poverty and to talk about different types of contraception korda birth control pill or condoms the data is clear they are very effective up their 99% you don't get that very often they're becoming more affordable there is now the iud for $50 with a the

cost of health care and also what a great opportunity for single mothers to get on a path to become educated to be productive members of society. that is my background as a clinician and policy-makers and a few quick comments on what we try to do in the commonwealth of virginia to decrease the number of unplanned pregnancies to decrease the number of abortions and make it healthier for our children and their families. thank you. i look forward to your comments and questions. [applause]

>> very nicely done. talking to people who'd know you listening to your presentation i can tell you are a person of substantial reason and you appear to be willing to give credit to people who don't see things

the way you do. in a couple of states including colorado, and that the federal level there appears to be politics that are extremely difficult and people's minds are made up in cement and indicates the colorado air results of the government not having success now richards had a foundation but here is my question for you were on the front line and year just described several issues having to deal with birth. have you found it helpful? have you approached people on the other side that are against policies? >> that is a great question

and a challenge because in virginia rehab 40 senators and 100 delegates coming from diverse parts of the commonwealth and bring with them different attitudes and experiences. one of the ways they plan to move forward is to use the data from colorado and say lewis to look at what it has done for the well-being of families and children and also sometimes when we talk to our fellow legislators legislators, they don't always believe in science but to talk about the data and a cost savings does

virginia's very conservative rebalance our budget each year. i want to give you a brief analysis back is 2008 the governor asked me to eliminate smoking in restaurants if you can imagine virginia being very conservative with tobacco being a big part of our economy i said thank you very much. [laughter] but i talk about the science as a pediatrician but also the cost to our health care. so the first year it was defeated in the house the second year i continue to educate on both sides of the i/o and the we are able to get that passed.

politicians like to be reelected for those of every 82 years the delegates run for reelection so we did some polling. 70% of the population said they will bite to be able to go into a restaurant without a second-hand smoke so be presented that data. if you use creative thinking or change semantics to come from a different a goal and things happen with policy. to take one small step at a time but that is what i plan to do their share.

partner, ralph counsel for childhood success we offered 25 recommendations to the governor that we will act on in the general assembly and one of the recommendations is to increase funding for access so i will take this message on the road to my fellow legislators. >> one of the arguments would defer started to read the studies, let me say they are not rand of assignments have to be cautious about the results but the big studies of i was a colorado st. louis board of dick's be center in san francisco is randomly assigned.

and they cut the birthrate in half with unplanned pregnancy compared to those centers that did not. >> period if it were dash three add four of those they show a reduction in the of abortion and some were substantial. do you think that is it effective argument? i have used that often in discussion but it surprised me you would think that would be a leading argument. >> i hope that it would be ready talked-about gun-control or gun violence or the number of abortions that is the first-ever to reach out to their colleagues to say do you agree we have too many abortions and though less in virginia would be better?

and if we can agree on that then have to reap change that number? in my mind it is almost hypocritical their way to decrease the number of abortions but you cannot have it both ways. so let's decrease the number of abortions one of the best ways to do that is to provide women with education and access to quality affordable health care to make the decision making reversible contraceptive. >> i just want to follow-up the other argument you may start with is what about the

government cost? day you have any data in virginia on how much you can save with medicaid and other programs if you can reduce unplanned pregnancies it is a high cost of the babies better board at a low birth rate. but i am worried about bigger numbers generally. >> we do have those numbers. andy manchin of a great figure to hang their hat with access and education we saved thousands that is a pretty good investment. >> but the points that you made to have 23 or 25 we can

fit in the hospital fiver six months that has cost the taxpayers several million is just the start. we do know what it takes to take care of them especially if they have epaulets year's terrible palsy all of those are very costly and more of a is it fair to our child and what does that do to a family? these are strong facts. >> but the last point is did is the people that will make the decision. but this is a the direction and that we want a society

to go or we will vote for something else. >> a national campaign is very intrusting as say public policy director i am glad to see the ceo here. but if you ask republican women how they feel about these issues, and they are in favor of issues because they think it is already available. and that fits in with what you are saying. what they want. >> we have time for a couple of questions.

>> tell us your name with evidence of comment. [laughter] of the importance of home visits by agreed day are important but what about increasing trading with dash trading? it is a hard conversation to birth control. >> that is a wonderful question because the number of social workers to take

into the homes and the answer is we're very underfunded for that. so the statewide program goes into homes but every poll that we visit there are 10 others that need our help so reachable way but you are exactly right. not only mental health issues to be understaffed with psychologist and social workers it is all about priorities to make sure we have individuals that our trained to do that. that is our intentions.

>> thanks for being here. >> that sounds like a warning. [laughter] >> but i would suggest the analogy is slightly off since most didn't think that smoking was a sin and there are still the number who think sex outside of marriage is wrong. so the question i would like to pose is that the people will ultimately choose but those of the people who vote to choose to come to election when dash local and state elections not just national in the state of virginia will be between 21

and 35 to not necessarily come out to vote. >> i am not a pollster. >> you're doing very well. >> i would ask for the need for our reach for those who don't vote in local and state elections. >> your point is so well taken with politics and policy making so one of the things that we are doing is going to colleges and universities to talk to those individuals and

whether legislators most of them are men telling women what they should be doing with their bodies who they should love or live with. that is all part of the process the reason i am so interested i have a 27 and a 24 year-old. i am working as hard as i can. this is a follow-up and a conclusion. when we do polling we knew the people that would be voting were elderly and women those were the two big areas of the folks does that mean we should ignore the rest?

no. our job is to make sure we get out to the next election it is the young folks in colleges or universities. and know about your careers unless it is politics and religion. [laughter] >> i am also a virginia resident and voter want to congratulate you on whatever role you had on regulations but there have to be challenges so what is the challenge and where are they coming from? >> the laws that change the

structure of reformation for women's clinics. that was done in the guise of making a statement. and my concern as a pediatric neurologist, we have people like me that to procedures, a gastroenterologist that are much more dangerous than an abortion. so my question to them, and my next? if you are worried about the safety then what will happen? right now we can stop the progress of closing down now women's
