NARAL Pro-Choice California is a 501(c)(4) non-profit organization founded in 1978 that works through the political and legislative systems to fulfill our mission: To develop and sustain a constituency that uses the political process to guarantee every woman 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 October 2003, CARAL and NARAL Pro-Choice America launched a new chapter -- NARAL Pro-Choice California. Maintaining a vibrant presence in the country's largest and most influential state is vitally important to the pro-choice movement.
California's nationwide influence is unquestioned; maintaining the state's strong pro-choice orientation is a national priority. NARAL Pro-Choice California works on both the state and national levels to protect and defend a woman's right to choose.
