A similar proportion of women traveled more than 25 miles for abortion before and after the legislative changes. Our finding that more women traveled greater than 100 miles to obtain an abortion in 2017 compared to 2011 highlights a key burden to abortion ac-cess in North Carolina. The increased number of women seen from freestanding abortion centers and from neighboring states following the legislative changes highlights an important geographical burden potentially associated with strict abortion restrictions.
