A pro-choice president sits in the White House. What was our role in making this happen?
- In May 2008, NARAL Pro-Choice America PAC become the first major pro-choice PAC to endorse Barack Obama for president.
- We identified pro-choice voters, including pro-choice Independent and Republican women, and urged them to support President Obama and pro-choice congressional candidates.
- We reached nearly 300,000 households in eight important states-- Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.
- We persuaded these voters to vote pro-choice because having pro-choice leaders in charge would make a positive difference in their lives.
In the 2010 elections, anti-choice politicians took control of the U.S. House and made gains in the U.S. Senate. However, we do have great champions, and are working with them to fight the anti-choice agenda.
In 2010, 31 NARAL Pro-Choice America PAC-endorsed congressional candidates won their races. Choice played a key role in the re-election of Sens. Michael Bennet of Colorado, Barbara Boxer of California, Patty Murray of Washington, and others.
