Participants\u2019 age ranged from 18 to 45 years. All lived in midwestern or southern states. Participants were interviewed in a private room at the clinic between November 2024 and August 2025. Participants discussed structural, logistical, and emotional challenges. Yet, they described abortion traveling as necessary because of the abortion ban and misinformation, which contributed to increased medical distrust. Medical distrust was already rooted in some participants\u2019 previous experiences of receiving biased reproductive care, and for Black women, it worsened because of historical mistreatment and discrimination. Increased medical distrust likely drove people to travel for abortion care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"ab-zoi260757-10\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions and relevance<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These findings call for enhanced coordination of care with centralized trusted resources, equitable distribution of funding, mental health support, and attention to reduce biased care for Black women.
