Personal Stories
You can help NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia's research and proactive policy efforts by putting a real face to the issues. We know that many women in Virginia face incredible barriers in accessing birth control, emergency contraception, and abortion services. Personal stories help us to understand and educate the general public about the obstacles that women face in exercising their right to choose. Stories about real women can also be what it takes to get the attention of media and policymakers.
