Access to abortion after decriminalization in Aotearoa New Zealand: A mixed-methods study of women’s experiences and views
We aimed to identify aspects of equitable, timely, safe, and accessible abortion services in Aotearoa. The findings suggest that many steps have been taken towards achieving accessible and equitable abortion care in Aotearoa. However, strategies and activities to protect and further implement high-quality abortion care are needed.
