	Choice Words: NARAL expunges abortion from its title
		NARAL president Kate Michelman took the don't-call-us-pro-abortion mantra too far in 1994, when she said, "We think abortion is a bad thing.

		Leading Democrat politicians usually speak at the NARAL banquet, but on this occasion, both presidential candidates Al Gore and Bill Bradley were at the Iowa caucuses, so their wives appeared in their stead.

	Ezra Klein: NARAL'S Request
		NARAL's exhortations to tell bloggers that choice is a real issue that affects women's lives is somewhat invalidated by the fact that bloggers seem to have a better understanding of what the political landscape affecting choice looks like.
		Until NARAL (and the rest of the single-issue groups) understand that building a movement is more beneficial to their causes than singular devotion to their pet causes, I can't take them seriously.
		But for NARAL to endorse Chafee after they already got what they wanted is like being in a game of chicken where the other guy blinks early, and you decide to step on the gas and swerve to ram him head-on anyway.

	Bearing Right, Again - The abortion rights movement embraces "responsibility." By William Saletan
		This is what NARAL loved about its 1989 message, "Who decides—you or them?" Women and liberals took it as an affirmation of women's right to control their bodies.
		But NARAL doesn't control whether freedom gets decoupled from responsibility any more than it controlled the interpretation of "you or them." NARAL's control goes out the window the minute the National Right to Life Committee drafts a "Responsibility Act" full of counseling requirements, waiting periods, parental consent rules, and rape exceptions.
		It drives me crazy that the pro-choice lobby has taken so long to espouse a responsibility position, because it allows pro-life groups to spout denouncements of women who have casual sex and then flippantly use abortion as their primary means of birth control.

	WorldNetDaily: Changing NARAL's blood-stained name
		Just over half, about 56 percent, believe it should be legal in certain cases, such as rape or to save the life of the mother, and another 17 percent say it should be illegal in all cases – meaning that 3 out of 4 Americans favor severe restrictions on abortion.
		NARAL's original abortion-rights slogans from the early '70s – they remain virtual articles of faith for today's "pro-choice" movement – were "Freedom of choice" and "Women must have control over their own bodies."
		Bernard Nathanson – co-founder of NARAL, abortionist, architect of the pro-abortion movement, and later, the courageous pilgrim who took a painful journey of discovery and truth – speaks the truth exquisitely, hauntingly: Abortion in America is beyond rational comprehension.

	Sirotablog: What Playing Hardball Really Means
		In his response to my last post about the NARAL controversy, Oliver Willis shows himself to be so completely divorced from reality inside the Washington, D.C. bubble that when I read his post I literally burst out laughing and crying at the same time.
		Whether you agree with their pro-choice agenda or not, NARAL made a hardball move designed to go beyond just helping this one Republican in Rhode Island - they threw a high and tight fastball at the national Democratic Party on their issue.
		Until progressives are willing to play hardball (sometimes in the way NARAL did on this specific issue), we all better get used to being in the minority for the next few decades.

	NARAL Pro-Choice North Carolina
		In choosing Alito, President Bush gave into the demands of his far-right base and is attempting to replace the moderate O’Connor with someone who would move the court in a direction that threatens fundamental freedoms, including a woman’s right to choose as guaranteed by Roe v.
		Alito concurred with the majority’s opinion in Casey that concluded that “time delay, higher cost, reduced availability, and forcing the woman to receive information she has not sought,” although admittedly “potential burdens,” could not “be characterized as an undue burden.” This opinion practically ensures that he would never find any burden to be undue.
		NARAL Pro-Choice North Carolina believes that we should promote a culture of freedom and personal responsibility by focusing on preventing unintended pregnancies and reducing the need for abortion through increasing access to family planning services, access to affordable birth control and by providing comprehensive age appropriate sex education.

		NARAL will soon launch a nationwide search for a successor to Michelman, who will remain with the organization as its president emeritus.
		Wade remains the law of the land, many pro-lifers believe Michelman's tenure was marked by a public opinion shift toward the pro-life position, thanks to much publicity on the partial birth abortion procedure and a decline in the number of abortion providers.
