NARAL Pro-Choice America

NARAL Pro - Choice America is a political organization in the United States, whose main goal freer access to abortion procedures and the improvement of decision-making by pregnant women and girls (Pro - Choice ).

The group was founded in 1968 by Bernard Nathanson, Larry loader and Betty Friedan as National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws. Nathanson left the group later and became a committed opponent of abortion. This was followed by two name changes ( National Abortion Rights Action League, and later National Abortion & Reproductive Rights Action League) in the sequence of processes Roe v. Wade (1973). In this case, the right to an abortion by the Supreme Court of the United States was directly derived from the right to privacy. The name was abandoned in favor of the shorter 2003. In 2004, she was one of the winners of the March for Women's Lives.

Late in the preselection of the campaign for the U.S. presidency NARAL issued a recommendation to vote for Barack Obama as the entire pro-choice movement was also NARAL divided on this issue. The decision was internally controversial. Only in the rejection of John McCain's positions was agreed.
