Every woman must be free to make decisions about when to have children, according to her own conscience and religious beliefs. We are religious people who trust women to make wise decisions about whether and when to have children. We affirm women in having children they can welcome, and we affirm women who end pregnancies they feel must not continue. This is in keeping with our various religious traditions. We acknowledge that religious people disagree, so we work to ensure that no narrow religious viewpoint is enacted into law.
Abortion can be a moral, ethical, and religiously responsible decision.
Anti-choice activists have attempted for decades to outlaw abortion, sexuality education programs, and funding for family planning services. We are working to correct this misperception and create a public opinion climate that is conducive to pro-choice policymaking. We affirm women and condemn any public policy that creates undue hardships and bars access to reproductive health education and services. The Coalition's affiliate organizations reflect the structure of the national organization by coordinating the work of member groups in their areas and providing targeted religious responses to anti-choice efforts. The national Coalition works in partnership with affiliates and offers technical support and training.
