By Meghan Doran

San Francisco, CA (OBSNews.com) – NARAL Pro-Choice California today hailed last week's federal judge’s decision that will allow same-sex couples in California to get married. State Director Amy Everitt called the judge’s action another sign of progress following the recent landmark decision in Perry v. Schwarzenegger that overturned Proposition 8.

“The pro-choice community shares a common bond with the LGBT community as we fight to be free from political interference in our most personal and private decisions, including marriage and the right to choose whether and when to have children,” Everitt said. “We celebrate this victory now and will stay committed to protecting reproductive rights and marriage equality, as demonstrated by our support for progressive candidates.”
