Washington, DC\u2014The National Consumers League (NCL), the nation\u2019s pioneering worker and consumer advocacy organization,\u202fhas released \u201cA woman\u2019s right to choose: Equal access to health care threatened,\u201d a new episode in its \u00a0We Can Do\u202fThis!<\/em> podcast series. Hosted by\u00a0NCL Executive Director Sally Greenberg, the episode\u00a0features\u00a0a\u00a0conversation with Karen Mulhauser, longstanding champion for women\u2019s rights. Mulhauser served as\u00a0the first appointed executive director of the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL)\u00a0in 1974, shortly after the 1973\u00a0Roe v. Wade<\/em>\u00a0case was decided by the Supreme Court, securing the right to abortion.\u00a0After leading NARAL, Mulhauser\u2019s\u00a0work\u00a0took many directions, including empowering women to register and vote,\u00a0and the founding of\u00a0Every\u00a0Woman Vote 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith NCL\u2019s long history in advocacy for safe, effective access to health care, we welcome Karen Mulhauser\u2019s perspective on the historical fight for a woman\u2019s right to choose. Mulhauser gives us an intimate view into why these protections are so important and so fragile,\u201d said Greenberg.<\/p>\n

An excerpt of Karen\u2019s interview: \u201cOne in three women have an abortion. … My story is one that when I was in college and got pregnant unintentionally, I self-induced, and for decades I didn’t talk about that. But part of what I think needs to happen is that people have to tell their stories. \u2026 We are losing our democracy, and that’s why I’m building a voter initiative for this. In my long years of life, this is the most important election of my life. And I want to do whatever I can to mobilize as many people as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Episode description:\u00a0The National Consumers League believes in equal health care access for all, and that includes a woman’s right to choose. With the looming possibility of\u202fRoe v.

Mulhauser\u00a0discusses\u00a0her personal story, political organizing and her work to secure rights and protections for women.<\/p>\n
