Voices for Choice NYU

Voices for Choice is the pro-choice student group at New York University. We believe that all people have the right to bodily integrity and private, personal choice. We are activists and advocates in the reproductive freedom movement, and seek to examine the intersections of race, gender, class, religion, and sexual orientation as they relate to reproductive choice within our society and others.

anti-choice activists are broadening their efforts in blocking women's access to birth control and emergency contraception. this is interesting, given that they supposedly want to decrease the number of abortions, and EC alone could prevent over a million unwanted pregnancies and 800,000 abortions every year. and since when is it ok for someone (like a pharmacist, for example) to flat-out refuse to fulfill the requirements of their job -- i.e., fill prescriptions? denying women the basic right to contraception should be met with outrage; can you imagine what would happen if pharmacists banded together to deny men their viagra prescriptions?
