Abstract
ObjectivesStudies have illustrated crisis pregnancy centers’ (CPC) disingenuous practices regarding abortion services. We evaluated the proportion of patients who visited a CPC before their abortion in Los Angeles. Study designPatients attending one of two abortion clinics between July 2019 and March 2020 were recruited for a survey that examined patient characteristics and locations of care. ResultsFive hundred eleven respondents participated (62% response rate). Less than 1% of individuals visited a CPC before their abortion. Fifty-three percent of survey respondents obtained their abortion within one visit, 39% within two unique clinic visits, and eight percent visited three or more clinics. ConclusionCPC visits before abortion were uncommon in our patient population.
