Results We included 2294 women undergoing abortion ≥13 weeks (no upper gestational age limit); 593 underwent dilation and evacuation and 1701 had a medical abortion. Demographics differed by procedure for parity (19% vs 33% nulliparous, dilation and evacuation, and medical abortion) and gestational age (90% vs 52% were 13‐15 weeks, dilation and evacuation, and medical abortion).
