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.

Foundation:
To support and protect, as a fundamental freedom,
a woman’s right to make reproductive choices. This mission is accomplished through support of education, training programs, and public policy initiatives.

Description:
It's your body. So shouldn’t what happens to it be your decision?

NARAL Pro-Choice Washington believes that every woman should be able to make personal decisions about the full range of reproductive health options. We support every woman's ability to access the birth control method of her choice, accurate and comprehensive sexual health information, good prenatal care, and safe legal abortion care.
Our 12,000 members are mothers, fathers, husbands, wives, sisters and brothers working together to improve reproductive health care in Washington state. We are the strongest grassroots network of pro-choice activists in Washington.

History:
Our Organization
Structurally, NARAL Pro-Choice Washington is four organizations in one:

NARAL Pro-Choice Washington 501-(c)(4) does issue advocacy, lobbying, and provides information on candidates positions on choice. We work with our lobbyist and legislators in Olympia to chart and pass pro-choice legislation and to defeat legislation that would limit a woman's right to choose. Contributions are NOT tax-deductible.
NARAL Pro-Choice Washington Foundation 501-(c)(3). Contributions to our Foundation are tax-deductible. This money cannot be used for direct political work. Foundation money can be used for issue education and some grassroots lobbying.
State Political Action Committee (PAC) can directly support candidates for state office. We educate voters on a candidate's position on choice before he or she becomes an elected representative. All contributions and donors to our state PAC must be reported to the Public Disclosure Committee (PDC).
Federal PAC is able to directly support federal candidates. All contributions and donors to our Federal PAC must be reported to the Federal Elections Committee (FEC).
