<head>Historical Note</head>

<p>The Abortion Care Network is a network of independent abortion providers, allies, and individuals which began operations in July 2008. It was founded through the merge of the National Coalition of Abortion Providers (now dissolved) and the Abortion Conversation Project, which still operates as ACN's sister organization. The majority of ACN members are independent clinic owners and staff.</p>
