Geographic Access to Crisis Pregnancy Centers and Abortion Facilities by State Abortion Policy

This cross-sectional study examining the comparative geographic access to CPCs and abortion facilities throughout the US found CPCs’ dominance was nearly uniform and variations in geographic access to abortion facilities based on residence and gestational duration were considerable. The findings suggest health professionals should educate patients and the public about CPCs and how to identify them and should advocate for policies that promote health and access to quality health care.
