NARAL PRO-CHOICE AMERICA

2009 Congressional Record on Choice NARAL Pro-Choice America believes every

woman has the right to make personal

decisions regarding the full range of

reproductive choices, including preventing

unintended pregnancy, bearing healthy

children, and choosing legal abortion. CONGRESSIONAL RECORD ON CHOICE 111th CONGRESS, 1st SESSION

Along with pro-choice leadership in Congress, the reproductive-rights movement finds itself with the potential not only to begin reversing some of the worst anti-choice policies of recent years, but also to start advancing initiatives on a national level that will protect a woman’s right to choose. We’ve already seen key improvements for women’s freedom and privacy.

Kathleen Sebelius to be secretary of Health and Human Services, Judge to the Seventh Circuit
