On Saturday, September 23rd, BACORR hosted a meeting at 2:00pm in the Women's Building in San Francisco. Several Bay Area activists, including Linci Comy, the Executive Director of the Women's Choice Clinic, spoke about the current climate and what is at stake in the battle for reproductive justice. People discussed some proposed upcoming activities, such as: organizing against Proposition 85, the Parental Notification Initiative on the ballot in November; building a vibrant, multi-issue presence on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade in January 2007; and coordinating public education about the history of women's rights, movement building, and strategies for 2006 and beyond. BACORR will reportedly participate in a protest against the "Life Chain" in San Francisco on October 1st.

BACORR, the Bay Area Coalition for Our Reproductive Rights, puts defense of basic reproductive rights around abortion in a broader historical context of demands for reproductive freedom, which includes free abortion on demand, no parental consent laws, no Medicaid/MediCal cuts for abortion, no coerced sterilization, free birth control, free quality healthcare, explicit non-moralistic sex education, and the right to have children, including access to free quality child care and free quality pre-natal care. The organization sees reproductive choice as an integral part of a larger struggle for the liberation/self-determination of all people.
