Abortion is a fundamental right for women in France, where the legal time limit was extended from 14 to 16 weeks' gestation. This extension allows women, whose psychosocial determinants are poorly known, and who face various obstacles (personal, administrative, medical, or other), to access abortion. However, it may also expose them to psychological troubles and difficulties in accessing healthcare. This study aims to identify the psychosocial determinants and disruptions in the primary care pathway associated with late abortions (≥14 weeks' gestation \[WG\]) in order to propose preventive actions, particularly regarding contraception, screening, and referral, directly applicable in general practice.
