Who We Are:NARAL Pro-Choice Texas Foundation, an affiliate of NARAL Pro-Choice America, is a statewide, nonprofit organization. NARAL Pro-Choice Texas Foundations mission is to support and protect as a fundamental right and value, Texan families ability to make personal and private decisions re-garding reproductive health through public education, training, organizing, and re-search.Our track record of accomplishments in-cludes several successful public education campaigns. Highlights are listed below, starting with our most recent project.Crisis Pregnancy Centers Public Awareness Campaign NARAL Pro-Choice Texas Foundation launched this campaign to educate the public and policy makers about crisis preg-nancy centers (CPCs) and whether they are an appropriate recipient of state family planning funds.In December 2005, NARAL Pro-Choice Texas Foundation produced a report titled Crisis Pregnancy Centers in Texas: A Hid-den Threat to Womens Health? that gener-ated statewide news coverage. This report

highlights controversial new state funding for CPCs. Emergency Contraception Access CampaignNARAL Pro-Choice Texas Foundation launched a campaign in 2002 to help edu-cate Texans about emergency contracep-tion (EC) and to reduce barriers to access to EC.NARAL Pro-Choice Texas Foundation pub-lished a county-by-county resource guide for reproductive healthcare titled Where Will a Woman Go? A Guide to Reproductive Services in Texas. This guide, which in-cluded a list of EC providers in Spanish and English, was distributed to rape crisis cen-ters and social service agencies throughout the state.As part of this campaign, in collaboration with the Institute for Reproductive Health Care Access, NARAL Pro-Choice Texas Foundation contacted over 600 physicians in selected Texas counties to provide them with educational materials about the im-portance of offering EC to their female pa-tients. As a result of this outreach effort, NARAL Pro-Choice Texas Foundation suc-ceeded in expanding the number of Texas counties where patients could access EC.

Access Texas: A Campaign to Improve Access to Reproductive HealthcareNARAL Pro-Choice Texas Foundation launched this campaign in 2001 to conduct research and improve access to reproduc-tive healthcare in Texas hospitals. As part of this campaign, NARAL Pro-Choice Texas Foundation conducted Texas first statewide survey of hospital emer-gency rooms to determine whether they were offering emergency contraception to survivors of sexual assault. The survey re-vealed that 67 percent of the surveyed emergency rooms did not offer EC to rape victims.Also, NARAL Pro-Choice Texas Foundation conducted a survey of Texas family prac-tice residency programs to determine whether abortion training was routinely offered to residents. In collaboration with the Womens Health and Family Planning Association of Texas, NARAL Pro-Choice Texas Foundation or-ganized a medical abortion training for family practice physicians interested in integrating abortion services into their practices. continue...
