Center for Reproductive and Sexual Health (CRASH), at the time the largest freestanding abortion clinic in the world, opened in New York City after New York legalized abortion in 1970. It was run by Bernard Nathanson. Nathanson described his successful efforts to keep CRASH from being shut down by the state in his book, Aborting America.

However, in 1988 CRASH was closed by the New York Health department stemming from a patient death and licensing issues.^{[citation needed]}
