Denying clinic-based procedural abortion care to people with a higher body weight is not an evidence-based practice. These policies unnecessarily threaten patient health by delaying care and potentially even blocking abortion access altogether.

Abstract for the paper "Weight and Procedural Abortion Complications: A Systematic Review." The objective of the paper was "To systematically assess the existing empiric evidence regarding a potential relationship between higher body weight and procedural abortion complications." The conclusions of the paper were "Overall, higher body weight was not associated with an increased risk of procedural abortion complications in the included studies. The practice of referring patients undergoing procedural abortion with a higher body weight for hospital-based care is not based on recent safety evidence. On the contrary, this practice threatens the health of people with a higher body weight by potentially delaying their access to abortion care, extending their pregnancies into later gestations, and blocking their ability to access an abortion altogether."
