NARAL was first founded in 1969 with the goal of ensuring access to safe and legal abortion, effective contraceptive options, and quality reproductive health care. In the decades since then, NARAL has expanded its mission to include affiliate organizations in several states. NARAL Pro-Choice Washington was founded in 1975 to protect and expand reproductive freedom in Washington state. Our 12,000 members: mothers, fathers, husbands, wives, sisters and brothers work together to preserve and expand safe reproductive health care in Washington state. We are the strongest grassroots network of pro-choice activists in Washington. Our mission is: 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.
