About Arts4Choice

We are Arts4Choice. We are artists and activists who firmly believe that every woman should have the right to a timely abortion on demand, no questions asked. We also believe that no woman should be made to feel fearful or ashamed for having exercised her right to reproductive freedom.

We want people to see the real faces of reproductive choice in Canada. We want to show Canadians that women who have had abortions are their mothers, sisters, neighbours and friends.

Our current project involves taking documentary portraits of Canadian women who have had abortions--women young and old, of different backgrounds, language groups, cultures and geographic locations. These portraits form a traveling exhibit that has been shown across the country and in the United States. Our hope is that this exhibit will become a book that women will be able to see and read in clinics and women’s centres across the country.

Issues of fear , intimidation and shame continue to surround the question of abortion as do the perrennial problems of access and funding. Let's keep the right of all women to safe, accessible abortions in the public eye. Let's talk about women's real experiences.
