Reproductive Justice Beyond Abortion

As the fallout from   the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision continues to radically transform abortion   access in the United States, it is critical to focus on how abortion politics   and policies impact the legal regulation of pregnancy and parenting in the   United States especially in marginalized communities. Using the framework of   reproductive justice (RJ), this talk illustrates the connections between   abortion law, the criminalization of pregnancy, and histories of reproductive   hierarchies in the United States. Recognizing these connections reveals that   RJ remains a crucial and under-resourced movement whose goals will only be   achieved through a multi-pronged approach that centers the experiences of   those most impacted by the law’s intrusion into private reproductive choices   and realities.
