NOW affirms that reproductive rights are issues of life and death for women, not mere matters of choice. NOW fully supports access to safe and legal abortion, to effective birth control and emergency contraception, to reproductive health services and education for all women. We oppose attempts to restrict these rights through legislation, regulation or Constitutional amendment.

Every year, DC NOW participates in several pro-choice events around the city, including Roe v Wade anniversary events at the Supreme Court and memorials for Dr. Tiller.
