Catholics for Choice

We believe strongly that nothing is too controversial to discuss; in fact, the more controversial the issue, the more we insist on and support talking about it. Clearly that is an approach that we share with the Battle of Ideas and explains why we are delighted to partner with them for this year’s conference.
