Women in the reproductive justice movement seek the basic human right to control their bodies. This includes a woman's right to terminate her pregnancy, and the rights to have a child, and to parent that child. On this edition from our Women's Desk, we hear from three women advocating for comprehensive reproductive health.
The issues they say need to be prioritized include: sex education, HIV and AIDS prevention, housing, educational opportunities, queer-conscious-healthcare, the economic resources to support a child, the right to live free of violence, as well as an analysis of reproductive technologies. They spoke at the 10th anniversary of SisterSong, a women of color led organization dedicated to a vision of "reproductive justice" that considers the race, class and sexuality dynamics of reproductive health.
