Not all abortion providers offer all types of abortion care; compared to first trimester abortion providers, second trimester providers are relatively scarce. Almost all (95%) abortion providers offer abortion care at 8 weeks since last menstrual period (LMP); however, this drops to 61% offering care past 12 weeks LMP, and 16% offering care past 24 weeks LMP . Consequently, women who do not access a provider in their first trimester may find it more difficult to find a provider in the second trimester, and increasingly so as time passes [16–18]. Previous studies have shown that women presenting for abortions in the second trimester travel longer distances than women in the first trimester [19, 20]. This is clinically problematic because increased gestation is associated with greater risk of morbidity [21, 22] and mortality [23, 24]. For example, the rate of major adverse events after a first trimester abortion is 0.16%, and after second trimester or later abortions is 0.41% . While these rates are already extremely low, they could be further reduced if women seeking abortion could obtain care as early as desired. The distance a patient must travel to reach a provider may affect her ability to receive timely care, or any care at all.
