Poster: Belief-Based Care Denial – Let’s Change the Terms of the Debate

Sep 20, 2024

We should ditch the misleading phrase “conscientious objection,” which has become nothing more than an anti-choice propaganda term. Let’s adopt the term belief-based care denial instead.

Why should society allow belief-based care denial when we have clear evidence of its harms and of the necessity of access to abortion?  Supporting it just cedes ground to the anti-choice movement and weakens the causes of reproductive rights and gender equality.

This poster was presented by Joyce Arthur of ARCC at the FIAPAC conference in Brussels Belgium on Sep 20/21, 2024. FIAPAC is the International Federation of Abortion and Contraception Professionals.
