This seems like a misinterpretation to me. The NRA draws the line in many places, especially with anything that stinks of military hardware. Pro-choice advocacy has been on the rope for decades and with recent state laws many abortion access difficult or impossible for poorer women. For example, not is really fighting to overturn the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003. NARAL's website concedes with this language, "NARAL Pro-Choice America does not oppose restrictions on abortion after a certain point in the pregnancy as long as there is an exception to protect the woman’s health." I think society is always going to have a discussion on what kinds of abortions are allowed and at what week. NARAL seems to be part of this conversation and doesn't oppose it. I don't think either group is special and both work with the status quo of advocacy and lobbying.

The NRA draws the line in many places, especially with anything that stinks of military hardware. The latter turns out not to be the case. Yep, they allowed it for full auto weapons, and AP ammo, but for the first time ever refused to sign off on any and all "assault weapons" bills when that mess started in the late '80s. Otherwise, yeah, the "compromise" a lot, so much that I'm not a current member and have an alert set for 10 years having passed since they last tried to sell us out. Still has a few years left.

  The "assault weapon" label is complete horse-manure. With $100 of aftermarket components and a half hour, you can take a stock Ruger 10-22 and make it "scary" enough to qualify as an assault weapon, then break it down and reassemble it in it's perfectly innocuous hunting configuration.
