Contact: Chris Kofinis (202) 486-6422

The following is attributable to Paul Blank, campaign director for WakeUpWalMart.com:

"We are pleased Wal-Mart had a change of heart and will allow women to have access to a safe and legal medicine. WakeUpWalMart.com, along with leading women’s organizations like NOW, NARAL, and Planned Parenthood, jointly called for and led a national effort to change Wal-Mart’s position.

As the national campaign to change Wal-Mart, we are glad to see Wal-Mart respond to growing public concern from our supporters and our grassroots partners. In the coming months, we hope Wal-Mart will work with us and reverse its stance on other important issues that will improve the lives of its workers, their families and the American people.”
