Kate Michelman

She is best known for her work in the United States abortion rights movement, particularly as a long-time president of NARAL Pro-Choice America.

From 1985 to 2004, Michelman served as president of NARAL, a major abortion rights advocacy organization in the United States.

Following her departure from NARAL, she worked as a political consultant and published her memoir, With Liberty and Justice for All: A Life Spent Protecting the Right to Choose, with Hudson Street Press in 2006.

"[2] In 2012, she and Carol Tracy were selected to be co-chairs of WomenVotePA, a nonpartisan political campaign focused on raising women voter turnout in the state of Pennsylvania and advancing the idea that women's health, economic security, and personal safety are at stake in every election.

[4] Due to problems with their health insurance, Michelman's family faced large hospital bills, particularly after her husband fractured his hip in a fall.
