The Republican Majority for Choice (RMC) was an American political advocacy group that aimed to represent the pro-choice faction within the Republican Party. The organization advocated for reproductive rights, including the right to legal abortion, and sought to influence party policies to reflect a pro-choice stance.

History[edit | edit source]

The Republican Majority for Choice was established to counter the strong pro-life movement within the Republican Party, which gained significant influence in the late 20th century. The group argued that reproductive rights are consistent with the Republican principles of individual liberty and limited government.

Goals and Activities[edit | edit source]

The primary goal of the RMC was to promote a pro-choice agenda within the Republican Party. Activities included lobbying Republican lawmakers, participating in party conventions, and supporting pro-choice Republican candidates through endorsements and fundraising.

Challenges and Controversies[edit | edit source]

The RMC often faced opposition from the more conservative elements within the Republican Party, who viewed the pro-choice stance as incompatible with the party's values. This internal conflict reflected broader national debates over abortion rights.

Dissolution[edit | edit source]
