People with disabilities are just as likely to get pregnant as non-disabled people and report similar fertility desires as non-disabled people.

Still, people with disabilities have long experienced persistent barriers to health care, including access to reproductive health care like abortion. Although there are some studies about disabled people’s experiences accessing health care, family planning services, prenatal care, and reproductive health care like pap smears and preventative screening, there is a lack of research about disabled people’s experiences attempting to access abortion in particular.

This document shares the fndings of the Disability and Abortion Access Survey (survey). Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund (DREDF) and Women Enabled International (WEI) developed the survey to better understand the experiences of people with disabilities who have sought or received abortion care in the United States. Drawing from the experiences shared in the survey, this document contains recommendations for reproductive rights and justice advocates and abortion professionals seeking to make their practices more accessible to people with disabilities.
