We bring the moral power of religious communities to ensure reproductive choice through education and advocacy.  The Oklahoma Religious Coalition seeks to give clear voice to the reproductive issues of people of color, those living in poverty, and other underserved populations.
The Oklahoma Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice was founded in 1978, as the Oklahoma Affiliate of the former Religious Coalition for Abortion Rights -- now the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice.  We are a statewide coalition of Christian, Jewish, and other religious organizations that believe that a woman should have the freedom to make reproductive choices according to her own religious and moral beliefs. 

We define "reproductive choice" in the broadest possible sense.  We resist the widely understood definition of "choice" as applying only to abortion and instead also call attention to the many choices that can lead to a reduction in the rate of unintended pregnancy. Therefore, we faithfully support comprehensive sexuality education, family planning, contraception, and other reproductive health services, as well as maintain that abortion can be a morally responsible choice. 

In addition to our faith group member representatives, we have individual members who constitute our Board of Directors. Also, we work with clergy and lay leadership all across Oklahoma.  Because we are an affiliate of the national Religious Coalition we also participate in the many programs and services of the national organization.
