Legal Assistance
Abortion Defense Network (ADN) and their network of attorneys and law firms provide legal advice, funding, and representation to physicians navigating the post-Roe legal landscape. ADN is available to abortion providers and supporters, including physicians who provide elective or medically indicated termination or physicians whose care may be impacted by abortion restrictions.
Legal Assistance
Physicians seeking personalized legal assistance can contact ADN using their online form. After submitting the form, physicians can expect a response from an attorney within 24 hours.
Legal Defense Funding
ADN’s legal assistance is typically provided pro-bono. In instances where additional legal funding assistance for a civil or administrative action is needed, physicians can access legal defense funds through ADN. Contact ADN using their online form to be connected to legal defense funding.
General Legal Resources
As part of their work, ADN develops in depth "Know Your State’s Abortion Laws" guides for medical professionals, which aim to provide clarification on what conduct is permitted and what the law requires in states with abortion restrictions. The guides cover state laws and professional guidelines on numerous facets of reproductive health care, including medication abortion, contraception and Emergency Medical Treatment & Labor Act (EMTALA).
