I understand that Fifty plus One only trains pro-choice candidates, as was stated on the training
registration brochure.
Pro-choice means that participants support the right to choose safe and legal abortion regardless of income. While we encourage open communications with parents, we understand that it is sometimes impossible for young women to discuss an abortion decision with parents. Therefore, we support a minor's access to abortion without the requirement of mandated parental notification or consent laws.
I consider myself to be pro-choice.*
