For the first time, the questionnaire included items about TGNB abortion patients and services.</p> <p><strong>Results</strong><br> We estimate that 462 to 530 TGNB individuals obtained abortions in 2017 and that 23% of clinics provide transgender-specific care.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion</strong><br> Several hundred abortions were provided to TGNB individuals in 2017, primarily at facilities that did not provide transgender-specific health services.</p> <p><strong>Implications</strong><br> Findings from this study support efforts to implement and expand gender-inclusive and affirming care at health care facilities that provide abortion.</p> </div> </div> <div class="field-block-node-research-article-field-content l--stack"> <div class="l--stack"> <div class="paragraph
