National Abortion Federation's Blurbs |
About me:
The National Abortion Federation (NAF) is the professional association of abortion providers in the United States and Canada. We believe that women should be trusted to make private medical decisions in consultation with their health care providers. NAF currently offers quality training and services to abortion providers and unbiased information and referral services to women.
Our work can be broken out into these three fundamental aspects of our mission:
Safe - NAF gives our members the education and professional support they need to provide the highest quality abortion care.
Legal - NAF provides the medical and patient perspectives in debates about abortion policies.
Accessible - NAF gives women the resources they need to make informed decisions about their pregnancies.
NAF also runs a Hotline that is available to answer any questions you may have about abortion, unintended pregnancy, or related issues. The hotline is free, completely anonymous, and offers services to everyone, regardless of their individual situation.
Call toll-free 1-800-772-9100
Weekdays: 8:00 A.M.-9:00 P.M. Eastern time
Saturdays: 9:00 A.M.-5:00 P.M.
Sundays: 9:00 A.M.-5:00 P.M.
Learn more about us at our website: www.prochoice.org
Share your Story: NAF is interested in hearing about your experience and why you are pro-choice. Over one-third of women of reproductive age have an abortion by the age of 45. Make your voice heard! Your voice is crucial in the fight to ensure safe, legal, and accessible abortion care to promote health and justice for women.

Help us Remember an American Hero, Dr. George Tiller
We continue to mourn the loss of our friend and colleague, Dr. George Tiller. Dr. Tiller was a dedicated physician who provided quality abortion care to women, at great personal sacrifice and risk. He is truly a hero to his fellow abortion providers and his patients. Dr. Tiller’s office is filled with letters from women, thanking him for the excellent, compassionate care he provided. Many of these women say Dr. Tiller saved their lives.
Since his tragic death, we have received messages from some of his patients and from people around the world who are saddened and outraged. We feel it is important to share these words and tributes to our beloved colleague and friend. For the first time, we will enable comments on our blog so that all of you can share your condolences or offer memories of Dr. Tiller. We invite you to join us in honoring a true American hero, Dr. George Tiller.
