Our Issues
Catholics for Choice is a thought leader at the intersection of faith and reproductive freedom.
We are a voice for the majority of Catholics who, in good conscience, disagree with the dictates of the Catholic hierarchy on matters related to abortion, contraception, gender, and religious freedom. Learn more about the issues we work on and hear from others who believe that individuals should follow their own consciences — and respect the rights of others to do the same.
Abortion
Everyone deserves equal access to the full range of reproductive healthcare services, including access to safe and legal abortion.
Conscience
Catholics are called to follow their individual consciences in all matters of moral decision-making, including those involving reproductive healthcare.
Birth Control
Everyone deserves the right to access the full range of family planning services, including all forms of artificial contraception.
Gender Equity
All people should be treated equally, regardless of their sex assigned at birth, gender identity, or gender expression.
Catholic Healthcare
Catholic healthcare often denies patients the opportunity to receive the full scope of healthcare services.
Opposition
We conduct original research about right-wing religious groups and individuals who seek to restrict sexual and reproductive rights.
Religious Freedom
People have the right to their own religious beliefs, but everyone also has the right to be free from the religious beliefs of others.
Reproductive Equity
All people deserve equal access to reproductive healthcare services, unencumbered by religiously-based barriers.
Social Justice
We believe access to comprehensive reproductive healthcare is rooted in the values of Catholic social justice teaching.
