NARAL Response to DNC Chair Statement on Women’s Rights

Ilyse Hogue, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, released the following statement in response to DNC Chair Tom Perez’s comments today:

“Kudos to Chair Tom Perez and the DNC for recognizing that we are a stronger party when we stand for our core values. Women across the country who are, and have always been, the heart and soul of the party, are breathing a sigh of relief to know that the DNC has our backs, and we look forward to a day when we don’t have to fight this fight again.”

NARAL Pro-Choice America and its network of state affiliates are dedicated to protecting and expanding reproductive freedom for all Americans. NARAL works to guarantee that every woman has the right to make personal decisions regarding the full range of reproductive choices, including preventing unintended pregnancy, bearing healthy children, and choosing legal abortion. In recognition of its work defending our constitutional right to choose, Fortune Magazine described NARAL as “one of the top 10 advocacy groups in America.”
