Our Latest Actions:

* Michigan Women Deserve Real Care, Not Real Alternatives: On Monday, CfA published an op-ed by CfA Counsel Alice Huling arguing that Real Alternatives, an anti-abortion nonprofit organization that receives state funding to run the Michigan Parenting and Pregnancy Support Program, is not operating effectively nor is it meeting the needs of Michigan women.
