Welcome to the 18th edition of Who Decides? The Status of Women's Reproductive Rights in the United States. This report summarizes the state of women's access to reproductive health care nationwide, including legislation considered and enacted in 2008. In this year's edition, we examine attacks on choice in the states and in the courts. We also highlight pro-choice legislative and non-legislative victories, including our ongoing Prevention First initiative which saw many successes this year.
Who Decides? is the preeminent publication of choice-related state laws and legislative activity, and NARAL Pro-Choice America is the only organization that provides up-to-the minute information about state bills, the enactment of new laws, and decisions handed down by state and federal courts related to reproductive rights. Our policy staff monitors state and federal activity on a daily basis, so please be sure to check our web site for updates throughout the year.
