Abortion Law Reform Association
- Abortion Law Reform Association
The Abortion Law Reform Association is a former advocacy organisation which promoted access to abortion in the United Kingdom. It campaigned effectively after World War II for the elimination of legal obstacles to abortion and the peak of its work was the 1967 Abortion Act.
In Autumn, 2003, ALRA combined with the more radical pro - choice group, National Abortion Campaign (founded in the 1970s to defend the Abortion Act against pro-life efforts), to form Abortion Rights.
"Abortion Law Reform Association" may also refer to similar groups in other countries, such as the Abortion Law Reform Association of New Zealand (ALRANZ) founded in 1970.
