Pueblo Pro-Choice is a Reproductive Justice Organization dedicated to advancing and protecting access to comprehensive reproductive healthcare in Southern Colorado.
We serve marginalized and underserved communities in Southern Colorado, combatting the predatory practices of crisis pregnancy centers and supporting people living in states with restrictive abortion laws. We fight for access to comprehensive reproductive healthcare, including contraception, prenatal and postpartum support, and advocate for policies that recognize the autonomy and dignity of all individuals.
Our advocacy centers around empowering individuals to make informed decisions about their healthcare, including the right to choose whether or not to have an abortion.
What is Reproductive Justice?
Reproductive justice encapsulates the human right to control one’s sexuality, gender, work, and reproduction. It goes beyond reproductive rights, merging them with social justice.
The Three Fundamentals of Reproductive Justice Are:
1. The right to have children.
2. The right to not have children.
3. The right to parent in safe and healthy environments.
We recognize that abortion is a complex and deeply personal decision. We believe that individuals are in the best position to make their own decisions about their bodies and futures. Everybody deserves access to the information and resources they need to make those decisions.
Our Work:
Our role in the Reproductive Justice Movement is rooted in collaboration. We work with local and statewide organizations to bring essential resources and access to Southern Colorado.

2. Comprehensive sex education: Providing inclusive education on anatomy, body image, sexual orientation, gender identity, consent, sexual abuse, contraception, sexually transmitted infections, and reproductive rights and responsibilities.
3. Pregnancy related healthcare: Addressing health risks during pregnancy, advocating for gender inclusive care, equitable services, and addressing racial disparities in maternal mortality.
4. Combatting predatory practices by crisis pregnancy centers: Protecting our community from misinformation and coercion, empowering individuals to make informed choices about their reproductive health.
We actively support individuals in making the best decisions for themselves and their families regarding their reproductive health.
