National Abortion Federation

The National Abortion Federation

The National Abortion Federation (NAF) is a professional association of abortion providers in North America.   NAF supports the notion that women should be trusted to make private abortion decisions in consultation with their health care providers.

NAF was established in 1977 with the merger of the National Association of Abortion Facilities and the National Abortion Council. They participate in a variety of activities, including lobbying efforts, public outreach campaigns, and a helpline referral service to member practitioners.  The organization annually holds a meeting to address areas of concern to abortion facilities such as political challenges, staffing, and legal issues.  Since 1981 NAF has also held an annual Risk Management Seminar to address clinical aspects of abortion practice.  They also publish clinical guidelines for abortion practitioners.

NAF indicates that “In order to become a member, a clinic must complete a rigorous application process.”  Member clinics have agreed to comply with their standards for quality and care, updated annually in their Clinical Policy Guidelines, which set the evidence-based standards for abortion care in North America.  NAF periodically conducts site visits to confirm that their abortion clinics are in compliance with their guidelines.

    Dr. Tiller did my abortion,

      I want to remain anonymous, I do not believe NAF served our offices’s interests very well.

        Appreciate you chiming in, anonymous. No organization is perfect and, yes, I’ve heard complaints over the years. It’s too bad you can’t chime in with more specifics. It might be a way to convey some constructive thoughts to them….

    It is unreal that some loser Christian ProLifer Murdered Dr. Tiller.

      It was a sad day, indeed. Doctor Tiller was one of the most compassionate and dedicated professionals I have ever met. I was honored to call him my friend…
