NARAL Pro-Choice America
Website http://www.naral.org/
Founded 1969, by Betty Friedan
Headquarters 1156 15th Street, NW Suite 700
Washington , D.C.
United States


The NARAL-Pro Choice America was founded in 1973 after the ruling in the Supreme Court case of Roe v. Wade which ensured the right to privacy and also legitimized the right to choose an abortion. Ever since the decision was made nearly forty years ago the NARAL has been ensuring the right for women to have an abortion all across the country. The NARAL stands for National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws.

History

This section should describe the interest group's founding and development. It would probably be a good idea to divide it into chronological subsections, for example:

Founding

This subsection should provide some historical context for the founding of your group, explain the motivations behind it, and describe the steps taken and challenges faced by its founders to get the ball rolling.[1]

Current objectives and activities

This section should discuss the group's current initiatives and tactics for influencing political outcomes (which may or may not be very different from its original goals and modus operandi).[2]

Organizational structure

This section should describe the group's organizational structure, including its principal leadership positions and their current incumbents.[3]

Achievements

This section should recount the group's major achievements, including but not limited to legislative and/or legal victories.[4]

Public perception and controversies

In developing this final section, be especially careful about maintaining a neutral stance and tone. Your aim should be to document the public's perception of your group and/or any controversies in which it is or has been embroiled without weighing in with your own opinion about them.
