Distance Traveled for Abortion at a North Carolina Tertiary Care Center Following Restrictive Legislation.

Background: North Carolina enacted 5 statutes restricting abortion between 2011 and 2016. Our objective was to compare the proportion of women who traveled more than 25 miles to a Southern tertiary care center during 2 distinct time periods (2011 and 2017).

Methods: We conducted a time-series retrospective cohort study of women who obtained an abortion at University of North Carolina hos-pitals in 2011 and 2017.
