Abortion Care Network

Independent, community-based abortion clinics collectively provide the majority of abortion care in the United States, serving three out of every five people who have an abortion. These clinics provide care when and where others do not — operating in the most hostile states and compassionately providing care as pregnancy progresses. Access to abortion care across the nation is largely dependent on these clinics, yet independent clinic closures are unrelenting: the total number of independent clinics in the U.S. has been reduced by over a third since 2012.

Not since the passage of Roe v. Wade has abortion access been more dependent on an individual's economic resources and zip code. In just the past 6 years, 32% of locally owned, independent abortion care providers throughout the US have been forced to close their doors due to onerous laws, economic forces, and abortion stigma.

With continued efforts to restrict abortion both at the state level and through anti-abortion, conservative majority on the Supreme Court, access to legal abortion care is under imminent threat.

Abortion Care Network (ACN) needs your support to safeguard the sustainability of independent abortion care providers in order to maintain access to abortion care. With your support, we can keep clinics open and ensure exceptional patient care for all.
