National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League (NARAL Pro-Choice America)
NARAL Pro-Choice America (NARAL Pro-Choice America) is a
lobbying organization dedicated to the
elimination of all laws and practices that would compel any woman to bear
a child against her will. It was formed in 1969 to
lead the struggle for the repeal of restrictive State abortion laws. Since
the 1973 Supreme Court ruling that abortion is a
constitutionally guaranteed right, NARAL Pro-Choice America has worked to maintain this right
in the face of attempts to outlaw abortion. NARAL Pro-Choice America
moniters legislation, briefs lawmakers, and testifies at hearings on
abortion and related issues. The Association organizes
grassroots affiliates, trains field representatives, and coordinates
efforts with other groups that are working to keep abortion
legal. In addition, NARAL Pro-Choice Amerca alerts members to pending legislation and
litigation, maintains a speakers bureau, conducts public
information programs, and prepares fact sheets and research papers on all
aspects of abortion. Information on educational and
audiovisual materials is available on request.
