Minority and low SES women have persistently and disproportionately higher rates of abortion than White and higher SES women, yet have limited access to these services. The response of governmental health agencies to these disparities in abortion has focused solely on decreasing the number of abortions, without attention to access to needed health services. This commentary seeks to build an understanding of how access to abortion care is currently impeded for low-income women and women of color and calls for an end to that omission.
少数族裔和社会经济地位较低的女性堕胎率一直持续高于白人和社会经济地位较高的女性，且比例失调，然而她们获得这些服务的机会有限。政府卫生机构对堕胎方面的这些差异的应对措施仅仅集中在减少堕胎数量上，而没有关注获得所需医疗服务的机会。本评论旨在增进对低收入女性和有色人种女性目前在获得堕胎护理方面如何受到阻碍的理解，并呼吁结束这种疏漏。
