Reproductive Freedom for All California, formerly NARAL Pro-Choice California, is the leading grassroots reproductive freedom advocacy organization in California.

Some of our past legislative wins include:

• 2023: Passed critical “shield” law that protects providers of abortion and gender-affirming care—regardless of where the patient is located—and strengthens safe haven protections by making it illegal for bail agents and private bounty hunters to apprehend people in California who have fled their home state to avoid criminalization of abortion or gender-affirming care.
• 2023: Passed a law that increases the number of licensed healthcare providers who are able to provide abortion and gender-affirming care in California by ensuring that licensed medical providers have access to professional liability insurance coverage without discrimination for providing abortion care, contraception, and gender-affirming care.
• 2023: Expanded access to medication abortion for MediCal recipients by causing the Department of Health Care Services to reimburse for medication abortion up to 77 rather than 70 days.
• 2022: Passed a constitutional amendment in the state legislature, qualifying it as Proposition 1 on the November 2022 ballot to enshrine the right to abortion and contraception in the California State Constitution. Proposition 1 passed with 67% of the vote.
