See what's happening in the world of choice with our monthly newsletter, A Few Choice Words This February, as the New York State legislature prepares to introduce the Reproductive Health Act, and the New York City Council is hammering away at passing the Clinic Access Bill, we kicked off a new six-part speaker series, “Choices: Achieving Reproductive Freedom for All” with a successful event focusing on emergency contraception to get us ready for Back Up Your Birth Control Month in March. The first month of 2009 was a good one for pro-choice New Yorkers. We celebrated the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, applauded President Obama’s reversal of the Global Gag Rule, and welcomed Kristen Gillibrand, a staunch advocate for women, as our new U.S. Senator. Here at NARAL Pro-Choice New York, we're also excited about our new Activist Leadership Circle and our own Kelli Conlin’s new blog on the Huffington Post. Happy Holidays from NARAL Pro-Choice New York!
