Freedom Of Choice Act (FOCA)

The pro-choice community supports guaranteeing the right to choose through the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA).

  • We launched this effort to enact a federal law that will protect a woman’s right to choose because our constitutional right is in dire peril. 
  • Since it was first introduced in 1989, FOCA has received bipartisan support in the House and Senate.
  • A woman’s right to choose abortion hangs by a thread on the Supreme Court. Learn more about choice in the courts.
  • Since Roe v. Wade, a woman’s right to choose has been systematically dismantled by anti-choice legislators in many states.  In fact, more than 500 anti-choice measures have been enacted in the states since 1995, essentially rolling back this fundamental right for many women. Check out Who Decides? to learn about anti-choice laws in your state.
  • Legislators in 21 states could enact sweeping bans on abortion if the Supreme Court reverses Roe and allows states to re-criminalize abortion, menacing doctors and their patients with the threat of criminal investigation, prosecution, and even imprisonment.
  • FOCA will restore the reproductive rights recognized under the vision expressed in 1973 in Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton, before anti-choice legislators and courts chipped away at these rights. 
  • FOCA will secure the right to choose by establishing a federal law that will guarantee reproductive freedom for future generations of American women. This guarantee will protect women’s rights even if Roe v. Wade is reversed.
