THE FIGHT AND THE RIGHT FOR REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH
“Women who have abortions do so because they value life and because they take very seriously the responsibilities that come not just with birth, but with nurturing a human being.”
Charlotte Taft
We, the Secular Humanists of Calgary campaigns in favor of women’s sexual and reproductive rights, in particular with respect to abortion. Our position on abortion is ‘pro-choice’ and we believe that contraception and high-quality, comprehensive relationships and sex education should be widely and freely available.
The Secular Humanists of Calgary will be pursuing a partnership with the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada and other pro-choice agencies and support communities along with local and Provincial Abortion Clinics and other medical and sexual health clinics that offer access to safe abortions.
Choice is about who gets to make the decision. The question of whether and when we bring a new life into the world is, to my mind, one of the most important decisions a person can make. It is too big a decision for us to make for each other, especially for perfect strangers.
Secular Humanists of Calgary is unambiguously pro-choice.
The history of Humanism in Canada is deeply intertwined with the fight for reproductive freedom. Henry Morgentaler, inspired by his Humanist morality, took his fight to make abortions available all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada. That case struck down Canada's abortion law in 1988 and since then it has been a decision between a patient and their doctor.
Today, we fight to make sure people continue to have that choice and that contraceptives are accessible to all who want them, in Canada and around the world.
