NARAL Pro-Choice America marked the 37th anniversary of the Supreme Court's landmark decision in Roe v. Wade with a luncheon in Washington, D.C. See video and photos from the event.
NARAL Pro-Choice America praised an independent committee at the Department of Defense for adding emergency contraception (EC) to the list of medications made available to servicemembers overseas. "This independent expert panel made the right call: Women in the military serving overseas should be able to access EC the same way women stateside do," said Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America.
A new report from the Guttmacher Institute reveals a rise in teen-pregnancy rates in 2006 after a decade of decline. The study "is the latest evidence that our nation is facing an adolescent-reproductive health crisis," said Keenan. "Our teens need accurate information to stay healthy and protect themselves from STDs and unintended pregnancy."
President Obama nominated Prof. Dawn Johnsen for a position at the Department of Justice. Help stop anti-choice attacks on her simply because she has taken pro-choice positions!
