Under Vicki Saporta’s direction as President, the National Abortion Federation has played a critical role in promoting and preserving women's access to safe, legal abortion care. Saporta has developed a public policy program that has brought abortion providers and the women they serve into the forefront of the public debate about abortion. This initiative has been instrumental in defeating attempts to restrict women's access to abortion at the federal and state levels. Public policy makers and the media regularly turn to Saporta and NAF to learn the provider and patient perspectives on abortion issues.
