Empowering Women Fighting for Reproductive Justice
Transforming the rights of women to choose now and for future generations
Our Story
How Our Bodies Our Choice began
In June 2022, the Supreme Court reversed Roe v Wade, protecting the constitutional right to abortion for half a century. Since that decision, reproductive rights have been challenged across the country and deeply eroded in many states.
The states with limited abortion access have higher rates of maternal and infant death, living with greater economic insecurity than women in states where abortion is protected.
Our Mission
Started by a small group of women in Southwest Virginia, our mission is to increase public awareness about reproductive justice issues and to mobilize in support of equitable access to reproductive services, including abortion, by race, ethnicity, class, age, sexual orientation, immigration status, and disability.
We aim to mobilize community engagement through education about reproductive justice and equal rights .
