Pregnancy Intendedness by Presence and Extent of Disability in the <scp>USA</scp>, 2019–2020
People with disabilities who give birth, regardless of extent of disability, had elevated odds of mistimed and unwanted pregnancy and of being unsure of their pregnancy intendedness. Our findings support the use of more inclusive measures of disability and emphasize the need for equitable reproductive healthcare that respects the childbearing potential and choices of individuals with disabilities.
