NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia Foundation

NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia Foundation has been a leader in the fight to ensure regulations on Virginia's women's health centers that provide abortion will be based on medical evidence and public health, not on an agenda to make it as difficult as possible for clinics to remain open. We work with other women's rights and health advocates and health care professionals to oppose targeted regulation of abortion providers (TRAP) as leaders of the Virginia Coalition to Protect Women's Health.

We're dedicated to ensuring that Virginians can know where to access medically-accurate, supportive information and resources regarding their full range of reproductive decisions and options, and to exposing so-called "crisis pregnancy centers" that deceptively promote an anti-choice agenda rather than offering accurate information and real support for all options for women experiencing unintended pregnancy.

Our grassroots organizers are building connections in Virginia communities and engaging a broad base of women and men to become informed, empowered advocates for Virginians' reproductive rights and health care access. They are expanding the visibility of our issue in communities, through tabling, presentations, and other outreach to educate the public about the current status of reproductive rights in Virginia and the threats and opportunities we are facing. We are developing a grassroots network of pro-choice leaders across the state who help spread our messages even further and engage their peers in taking action.

We engage students at Virginia colleges and universities in activism and advocacy for reproductive rights and health care access, both through participating in our statewide activities and by pursuing local campaigns on their own campus.
