The overturning of Roe v. Wade has resulted in substantial abortion access restrictions and clinic closures, highlighting the crucial role of hospital preparedness in delivering abortion and pregnancy loss care. This study explores the capacities of teaching hospitals in providing such care. Although most programs can manage health- and life-threatening situations, there are significant regional differences in service limitations and colleague support. For example, compared with faculty members in programs in protective states, those in restrictive states are more likely to report restrictions on first-trimester care (69.4% vs 10.9%, P<.001) and second-trimester care (75.0% vs 12.7%, P<.001). These findings underscore the vital role of teaching hospitals in ensuring abortion care access, emphasizing the need for enhanced integration of abortion services and training in hospital settings.
