Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice

The Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice (RCRC) is an abortion rights organization founded in 1973[1] by clergy and lay leaders from mainline denominations and faith traditions to create an interfaith organization following Roe v. Wade, the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion in the U.S.[2] In 1993, the original name – the Religious Coalition for Abortion Rights (RCAR) – was changed to the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice.[3]
