The ACLU and Reproductive Choice
There seems to be a segment of opinion that the ACLU is somehow indifferent to reproductive choice, which is odd... it is one of their main areas of focus. In terms of legal advocacy (which is what they do), the ACLU has been as important to reproductive choice as any organization. They were with Sanger in 1929. They were arguing for contraception years before griswold. In 1971 the The ACLU argued United States v. Vuitch, the first abortion case to reach the United States Supreme Court. It is, and has long been, a big part of what they do.
