THE ABORTION CONVERSATION PROJECT

We recognize the transformative power of pregnancy and all its possibilities. We envision a world in which abortion is affirmed as a moral decision without stigma. We believe that open and honest conversations, in a safe environment, about the experience of abortion will begin to create this world.

The Abortion Conversation Project is committed to eliminating the stigma of abortion by creating new ways and opportunities to talk about abortion honestly and publicly. The real life experiences of providers and women themselves will enable people to understand and appreciate the complex moral decision making surrounding a pregnancy decision.

We pledge open conversations that do not demonize those with differing views, or convince anyone that we are "right". We realize that decisions about pregnancy bring up issues of life, death, sex, parenthood, and so much more. We want to create safe spaces for women and men to consider what is best for their lives.

The Abortion Conversation Project consists of its board and staff, Conversation Partners that affiliate with us, and connections to clinics and prochoice organizations and individuals. Conversation Partners agree to support the project and may join in national discussions sponsored by ACP. To join, see further information under Activities.

Independent abortion providers* founded the National Coalition of Abortion Providers, a 501 c 4, in 1990 to meet our networking, political and business needs. The Abortion Conversation Project, a 501 c 3, draws on the energy and resources of NCAP clinic members. ACP is funded through donations, grants, and our activities, especially www.AbortionClinicDirectory.com which is an internet resource for people considering abortion and looking for a clinic. See “Activities section” for further information about our projects.
