Objectives:
To examine early-career U.S. midwives' involvement in abortion care provision.
Study Design:
We analyzed data from a 2024 national survey of certified nurse-midwives and certified midwives within five years of certification, assessing self-reported abortion care provision.

Conclusions:
Early-career midwives contribute to abortion care in the United States.
Implications:
Findings inform understanding of the abortion care workforce.
