New publication on abortion travel in Europe: «Cross‑country abortion travel to England and Wales: results from a cross‑sectional survey exploring people’s experiences crossing borders to obtain care»

23rd June 2021

We are happy to announce that another article based on the results of our study on cross-border travel for abortion care in Europe has been published. This paper documents the burdens associated with cross-country travel to England for abortion and provides insight into the factors that compel people to travel. Our findings highlight the need for expanded access to abortion care throughout Europe via the removal of legal restrictions and other social or procedural barriers: https://doi.org/10.1186/s12978-021-01158-z
