The National Association and Reproductive Action League works to uphold the 1973 Supreme Court decision (Roe v. Wade) that declared laws banning abortion unconstitutional. The organization maintains lobbyists in Washington, D.C., provides information to members of Congress, and gathers statistics. It provides professional testimony at hearings on abortion issues and supports pro-choice candidates for political office. NARAL publishes a newsletter that includes updates on abortion legislation.
