Most people know about reproductive rights because of abortion’s prominence in American politics. Fewer people know about reproductive justice, a different framework for similar issues that explores how systemic oppression impacts all aspects of reproductive decision-making. This approach centers social, racial, and economic justice and focuses as much on a person’s rights to have and raise children as it does on their right to not have them through access to safe and legal abortion care and contraceptive access. This course will focus on several major topics within both reproductive rights and justice: contraception, sterilization, abortion, pregnancy discrimination, assisted reproductive technology, and more.
