Detailed Collection Information
Historical Note
In 1979 the Philadelphia Reproductive Rights Coalition was formed in response to “an international call for action on reproductive freedom.” In 1981 the name of the organization was changed to the Philadelphia Reproductive Rights Organization with an affiliation to the Reproductive Rights National Network. During its lifetime the group actively demonstrated and testified against restrictions on access to abortion. The organization was concerned with maternity care, lesbian rights, and racism in the women's movement along with many other issues of special interest to women and those concerned with reproductive rights.
