The Reproductive Justice All Women Need
Knowing and respecting women's bodies
In this week’s Fairer Disputations original, Amber Adrian proposes a new understanding of reproductive justice: one which seeks to understand and value women’s bodies, not treat them as problems to be solved.
The Reproductive Justice All Women Need
Amber Adrian
By exalting birth control and abortion as the foundation of women’s well-being, mainstream feminism has contributed to the devaluing of maternal bodies. Women deserve a fuller understanding of their own bodies, including their fertility, so that they can make an active choice about whether and when to have children. They also deserve a healthcare system that understands and values the female body. Ultimately, women deserve to live in harmony with their bodies, not in ignorance or fear.
