Reproductive Freedom for All, formerly NARAL Pro-Choice America and commonly known as simply NARAL (/ˈnɛərəl/ NAIR-əl), is a non-profit 501(c)(4) organization in the United States that engages in lobbying, political action, and advocacy efforts to oppose restrictions on abortion, to expand access to abortion and birth control, and to support paid parental leave and protection against pregnancy discrimination.^[3]^[4]^[5]

NARAL is associated with the NARAL Pro-Choice America Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, and the NARAL Pro-Choice America PAC, a political action committee. Founded in 1969, NARAL is the oldest extant abortion rights advocacy group in the United States,^[6] though it was predated by a few now-defunct groups including the Society for Humane Abortion and the Association for the Study of Abortion.
