As the right and the left seek common ground on the abortion issue, there is one area that is a perfect place to start—pregnancy prevention. A basic way to make abortion rare is to prevent unplanned pregnancies.

What Reid needs now is a co-sponsor for the legislation and support from both sides of the aisle. Join NARAL Pro-Choice America and urge your senators to support the Prevention First Act. ACT NOW
