A quick summary on the perpetual attack on women’s reproductive rights.
This page has been adapted from NOW’s brochure, “We Want Reproductive Justice NOW!”

NOW’s first policy statement declaring lesbian rights a feminist issue was in 1971. In that declaration, NOW members acknowledged a woman’s right to independence and self-determination, including the right to define and express her own sexuality.
