NARAL Pro-Choice America and our network of state-based affiliates have long advocated policies and programs that help prevent unintended pregnancy.  In addition to our work keeping abortion safe and legal, we have actively supported legislation that would make abortion less necessary, not more dangerous or difficult. 

Building on the spirit of these pro-choice values, NARAL Pro-Choice America launched the Prevention First initiative in 2005 to advance commonsense policy solutions to prevent unintended pregnancies and therefore reduce the need for abortion.
