In Norway and most European countries, abortion is legal on request. Yet, legal entitlement alone does not ensure equitable or person-centered care. Migrant women, including Roma women from Eastern Europe, often face structural and informational barriers when navigating abortion and related services.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study explored Roma women\u2019s experiences of abortion care, counselling, and follow-up in light of the World Health Organization\u2019s (WHO) Conceptual Framework for Abortion Care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A qualitative, exploratory design was used.<\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>Methods: Seven semi-structured individual interviews and one focus group discussion were conducted with 12 Roma women temporarily residing in Oslo.
