The National Abortion Federation (NAF) is the professional association of #abortion providers. We unite, represent, and support abortion providers.The National Abortion Federation (NAF) is the professional association of abortion providers in North America. We believe that women should be trusted to make private medical decisions in consultation with their health care providers.

Core values

- The NAF addresses critical issues such as access to abortion care, which is a fundamental aspect of reproductive health and rights. This is particularly important for individuals facing barriers to abortion, including financial, logistical, and social stigma-related obstacles[2][4].
- By advocating for safe and accessible abortion care, the NAF helps in reducing maternal mortality and improving the overall health and well-being of pregnant individuals. This is evident from the decrease in maternal mortality ratios in countries where abortion laws have been liberalized, such as Argentina[1].
- The NAF's work contributes to policy changes and public awareness campaigns that promote reproductive autonomy and challenge restrictive laws and social stigma. The "Green Wave" movement in Latin America is a notable example of such positive change[1].
- The organization also supports healthcare providers and patients by documenting and addressing violence and disruption against abortion clinics, which helps in ensuring a safer environment for those seeking and providing abortion care[4].
