The Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada (ARCC) is the only
nation-wide political pro-choice group devoted to ensuring abortion
rights and access for women. We formed in October 2005 to carry out
political and educational work to support reproductive rights and
health.
ARCC is Canada’s “voice for choice.” Check out our Vision and Mandate for more about what we stand for and what we do.
Our diverse coalition consists of pro-choice groups and individuals across Canada working to represent all Canadian women.
March 2010 - Yes, Legalizing
Abortion Does Save Women's
Lives: Anti-choicers are making bizarre claims that legalizing
abortion does not
improve maternal health and may even harm it, and that countries with
strict anti-abortion laws have better maternal health records. Nothing
could be further from the truth.
March 2010 - Abortion Still Does Not Lead to an
Increased Risk of Breast Cancer (or other health problems):
Anti-choicers will never let facts get in the way of their ideology,
but here's the evidence again anyway.
February 2010 - Press Release: Conservatives
Contradict Themselves: Long-time
funding for safe abortion and family planning in developing countries
is now in jeopardy.
February 2010 - It's About Abortion
Stupid! - Conservative commentators have heaped scorn on Michael
Ignatieff’s call to not exclude abortion and contraception from
Harper's plan to address maternal/child health in developing countries.
But his critics have no facts, and even less
compassion for women. Read our: Key Facts about Maternal and Infant Health in
Developing Countries.
