Abortion Care Network Connecting the independent abortion care community. We are stronger together. Twitter: | Instagram: We invite you to join us!

Founded in 2008, Abortion Care Network (ACN) is the national association for independent community-based, abortion care providers and their allies. Together we work to ensure the rights of all people to experience respectful, dignified abortion care. Independent abortion providers care for the majority of people seeking abortion care – often serving individuals and families in the most rural parts of our nation and those with the least financial resources. Our members are local providers including small business owners, non-profit clinics, women’s health centers, physicians’ offices and hospitals, as well as academics, journalists and advocates all working to bring the highest quality abortion care to communities throughout the United States. We are the only organization in the nation dedicated to the unique needs of independent abortion care providers and the communities they serve. ACN is also the driving force behind the movement to de-stigmatize and normalize the abortion experience – for abortion care providers as well as individuals and communities. ACN is unique in that we provide our members more than just educational, logistical or advocacy resources. We believe that the most effective way to support providers long-term is to ensure that they are accepted and recognized as an essential and integral part of the world that surrounds them. Other groups may be building tactical or physical walls to keep a clinic safe, but ACN instead focuses on bringing down the barriers that keep abortion care providers viewed as outsiders. We are building a network of local and national advocates and supporters who will reintegrate abortion services, the people who offer them and the people who have abortions into the fabric of our own communities. A tapestry where abortion care is accepted and commonplace rather than hidden and specialized. In the end, we believe this is essential to keeping high-quality abortion care accessible.

On , we’re reminded that abortion care is health care. 🧡

People deserve to be heard, believed, and supported in decisions about their bodies, their care, and their lives. Access to compassionate abortion care matters for our physical health, our mental health, and our well-being.

Everyone deserves care without stigma or shame.

Today is International Safe Abortion Day. 🧡

We’re marking the day by putting the spotlight on the independent abortion clinics doing this work every day — and inviting you to hear directly from the people in our network who are doing it.

In a recent episode of rePROs Fight Back, ACN Co-Executive Directors Nikki Madsen and Erin Grant shared what they want friends, supporters, and communities to know right now:

📣 When you hear about an abortion ban, share reliable information that abortion care is still available. Repost from ACN or direct people to INeedAnA.com.

📣 Refuse to participate in anything that criminalizes abortion providers. As Nikki says: “Just refuse.”

📣 Support independent clinics. Give to Keep Our Clinics — and if you’re an independent abortion provider, look us up and become an ACN member. You can sit with us.

And if you want to hear directly from clinics about the work they’re doing right now, guess what? They’re working RIGHT NOW at clinics across the country today. So read a few quotes from clinics in our network here:

🎙️ Independent abortion providers are human rights defenders.

Independent abortion clinics collectively provide 58% of abortions in the U.S., delivering critical, community-based care every day.

In the latest episode of rePROs Fight Back, ACN Co-Executive Directors Nikki Madsen and Erin Grant talk about the people behind independent abortion care, the realities of this work, and why independent providers are human rights defenders.

Ahead of International Safe Abortion Day on September 28, we’re proud to lift up the independent providers who make abortion care possible in their communities—and the people who stand alongside them.

🎧 Listen to the episode:

Independent abortion clinics collectively provide 58% of abortions in the United States. After 26 weeks of gestation, abortion clinics provide 100% of abortion care in the country. Yet, independent clinics have faced unrelenting attacks to their funding, resources, and physical wellbeing, especial

Abortion care should be provided with dignity, autonomy, safety, and support — not stigma, discrimination, coercion, or violence.

Comprehensive abortion care includes accurate information, counselling where desired, medical and procedural abortion, quality-assured medicines, trained providers, referrals, and post-abortion care.

We know this, independent abortion providers know this, and we’ll continue to push for REAL comprehensive abortion care!

Regardless of the courts and constantly changing legal landscape, abortion and reproductive care are NOT just legal or illegal issues. They are a reality, an important part of our lives and communities.

Everyone deserves access to abortion care that is safe, equitable, and supported.

Medication abortion with mifepristone is safe, effective and available today—and that’s how it should stay.

Mifepristone access should be guided by science and patient needs—NOT politics.

Sometimes the most important thing we can do is say it plainly.

To the providers showing up with compassion and care for their communities, thank you. We see you, we support you, and we love what you do. (And we know you do too!)

Last month, several ACN members and staff traveled to Chicago for the Nova Summit. This Juneteenth, we’re sharing reflections from Black ACN members on what they brought to the summit, and to the broader Black repro ecosystem.

Check out what they had to say.

And a huge shoutout to the organizers (Black Feminist Future, All* Above All ✳️, and New Voices for Reproductive Justice) for hosting such an incredible summit and creating space for connection, learning, and collective visioning.
