Usage notes
It was founded in 1969 as the National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws and later became the National Abortion Rights Action League. After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, it rebranded to focus on broader reproductive rights. Many news reports still refer to it by its former name.
