Policy Development
Children by Choice aims to promote women’s sexual
and reproductive health choices in relation to unplanned pregnancy and
abortion by providing policy input into all levels of government and other
relevant bodies.
Children by Choice regularly produces submissions on
issues relating to unplanned pregnancy, abortion and women’s
reproductive health choices. We have produced submissions on
issues such as adoption, the need to improve sexual and reproductive
services, and abortion law reform. Children by Choice also maintains
commitment to policy development through participating in the
Womenspeak Network and
Reproductive Choice Australia.
