Statement from NAF President & CEO Brittany Fonteno

“President Trump’s decision to pardon nearly two dozen anti-abortion protesters is disturbing and concerning for the safety of abortion providers and their patients. The people Trump pardoned broke the law by trying to block people from accessing the health care they wanted and needed. We will not stand idly by as anti-abortion extremists escape accountability.

“When Trump was elected, we knew his win would very likely embolden anti-abortion extremists to further harass, threaten, and target providers who are just trying to provide patients with care. NAF won’t stand for this. We are committed to ensuring that our members can provide comprehensive, evidence-based care to their patients, no matter what. We will continue supporting our members with the critical security resources, intel, and trainings they need to protect themselves and prepare for potential threats so that their staff can focus on providing safe, timely abortion care to their communities.”
