Abortion Rights Group Changes Name to Reflect Broader Focus on Reproductive Freedom

The influential abortion rights group NARAL Pro-Choice America announced Wednesday, Sept. 20, 2023, that it has changed its name to Reproductive Freedom for All to better reflect how people think about abortion access ever since the U.S. Supreme Court revoked the constitutional right to abortion little more than a year ago.

Overview

  • NARAL Pro-Choice America changed its name to Reproductive Freedom for All to reflect a broader mission beyond "pro-choice."
  • The name change comes amid shifting politics and a focus on fundamental freedoms in the post-Roe era.
  • The term "pro-choice" is seen as dated and does not resonate with some younger, moderate, and male voters.
  • The group plans to increase state organizing and support causes like eliminating the filibuster and voting rights.
  • Supporters and opponents of abortion rights are repositioning themselves as the political landscape evolves.
