What do pro-choice people believe?
Being pro-choice doesn't necessarily mean that you are pro-abortion, or that, if faced with an unintended pregnancy, you would have an abortion. Simply put, being pro-choice means that you believe that women, not the government, should make their own reproductive health care decisions. You are pro-choice if you: • Believe that reproductive health care decisions should be made by a woman, not by politicians.
• Support the Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade> and oppose any attempts to overturn or abridge it through judicial or legislative action.
• Oppose any legislation, referendum, or judicial activity that unnecessarily impedes a woman’s access to an abortion.
• Support access to affordable, reliable contraceptives.
• Support comprehensive, age-appropriate sex-education programs for youth.
• Support funding of abortions for low-income women who depend on government health care.
• Oppose government-imposed delays and state-scripted “counseling” mandates.
