A MESSAGE TO THE RIGHT‐TO‐LIFE MOVEMENT FROM NARAL PRO‐CHOICE AMERICA
PLEASE, HELP US PREVENT ABORTIONS
For years, your groups and ours have waged one of the country à s most divisive political wars over a woman à s right to choose. We believe passionately that women have the right to decide for themselves when to bring children into the world ± without government interference. You disagree à à ± passionately and sincerely.
We will never resolve our differences on this basic question. But we should agree on an equally fundamental point: America would be a better country if no woman ever faced the difficult choices posed by an unintended pregnancy. What better way to end the debate over abortion rights than by eliminating the reasons women seek abortion?
The time has come to join together in a new campaign to reduce the number of abortions.
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid ± who disagrees with us on the issue of abortion à à ± has offered a commonsense bill called the Prevention First Act which would help reduce unintended pregnancies through better access to birth control. This landmark legislation represents a serious first step in addressing the problem, and I hope you à ll join pro‐choice Americans and me in offering your support.
Let às work together to pass this bill, and make it the first step in a dialogue about preventing unintended pregnancies.
I eagerly await your answer.
Nancy Keenan
President
NARAL Pro‐Choice America
