University Pro Choice Coalition

Mission

UPCC strives to protect reproductive freedoms through education and action within the U of M community. Developing awareness about safe-sex practices, birth control, emergency contraception, and abortion will allow you to make an informed decision about your reproductive rights.

What is Pro-Choice?

“Pro-choice describes the political and ethical view that a woman should have complete control over her fertility and pregnancy. This entails the guarantee of reproductive rights, which includes access to sexual education; access to safe and legal abortion, contraception, and fertility treatments; and legal protection from forced abortion.”

Pro-choice does not mean pro-abortion! UPCC, like many pro-choice groups, advocates sex education, family planning, and fair, affordable contraception programs as a way to avoid unintended pregnancy in the first place.

Meetings

We aren't holding meetings during the summer semester. If you would like to be informed of fall semester meeting times or other UPCC projects, please join the mailing list by e-mailing upcc@umn.edu.
