چکیده
To cite: Quilliam S. J Fam Plann Reprod Health Care 2015;41:74–75. WHO ARE YOU? Catholics for Choice was founded in 1973 to serve as a voice for Catholics who believe that the Catholic tradition supports women’s and men’s moral and legal right to follow their consciences in matters of sexuality and reproductive health. We promote public policies that advance sexual and reproductive health ethics from a values-based perspective, drawing on the Catholic social justice tradition and respect for the reproductive health care decisions made – in good conscience – by men and women around the world. We aim to bring to legislators, media, academics, grassroots organisations and ordinary individuals a balanced viewpoint about Catholic teaching on issues related to contraception and abortion.
