Abstract
ObjectiveTo estimate the number of transgender and gender non-binary (TGNB) individuals who obtained abortions in the United States and the extent to which abortion facilities offer transgender-specific health services. Study designWe collected survey data from all known health care facilities that provided abortions in 2017. For the first time, the questionnaire included items about TGNB abortion patients and services. ResultsWe estimate that 462 to 530 TGNB individuals obtained abortions in 2017 and that 23% of clinics provide transgender-specific care. ConclusionSeveral hundred abortions were provided to TGNB individuals in 2017, primarily at facilities that did not provide transgender-specific health services. ImplicationsFindings from this study support efforts to implement and expand gender-inclusive and affirming care at health care facilities that provide abortion.
