Access to
Abortion Care in the United States:
Clarifying the Recent Supreme Court Decision on Abortion
On April
18 the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a federal law banning certain abortion
procedures after the first trimester. It remains the case, however,
that abortion is still legal in the United States in the first and
second trimesters, and under very limited circumstances in the third
trimester. We are working with our members and attorneys to ensure that
women continue to have access to the highest quality abortion care in
compliance with the court’s decision.
If you
have questions about abortion or need referrals to providers of quality
care, please call our toll-free Hotline at 1-800-772-9100. Our hotline
provides callers with unbiased, factual information about abortion in
English, Spanish, and French.
NAF has
been on the forefront of challenging this dangerous ban. Our mission is
to ensure safe, legal, and accessible abortion care to promote health
and justice for women. Our members include health care professionals at
clinics, doctors' offices, and hospitals, who together care for more
than half the women who choose abortion each year in the United States.
