Fanaticism behind Left’s Abortion Rebrand

Recently, NARAL (National Abortion Rights Action League) Pro-Choice America decided to change its name for the fourth time in the organization’s history, a move that was inevitably highlighted by the New York Times. The new moniker? Reproductive Freedom for All.

Since the organization’s beginning, each name change has marked a significant shift in the Left’s approach to the politics of abortion. The group started out as the National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws in 1969. After Roe was decided in 1973, it became the National Abortion Rights Action League. Reproductive Rights was added to its name in 1993. In 2003, just in time for the 2004 presidential election, the group took on the name “NARAL Pro-Choice America.”
