In pursuit of our vision, an integrated, holistic approach takes into consideration the political, social and economic contexts within which women seek and are provided with TOP services. Our vision is that every woman in South Africa shall have access to good quality termination of pregnancy services when faced with an unwanted pregnancy as well as access to other reproductive health services.

Reproductive Rights Alliance presentation to Health Portfolio Committe - 25/09/01 Goal as articulated by the plan To provide acceptable, accessible, affordable, cost effective and user -friendly termination of pregnancy services for women with unwanted pregnancies as part of the reproductive health service programme and integrated into comprehensive health services, eventually reducing the number of unwanted pregnancies and the need for pregnancy termination.
