^*Beginning January 2014, abortions were reported using weeks’ post-fertilization instead of weeks from last menstrual period. For abortions occurring in 2014, gestational age at the time of abortion was estimated by adding 2 weeks to post-fertilization age.

^†Days until the next available consultation visit is a three-month moving average calculated from the wait times at open facilities in the nearest Texas city in the index month, and preceding and subsequent month, of a woman’s abortion.

^‡One-way distance estimated from the population-weighted centroid of a woman’s county of residence to the nearest open Texas facility on the date of her abortion.

^§The size of the facility network in a woman’s region of residence was computed using the number of open facilities in the region on the date of her abortion and 2011–2015 American Community Survey estimates of the number of women aged 15 to 44 years in the region.
