Description
Reproductive justice is the human right to have children, the right NOT to have children, and the right to parent children in safe and sustainable communities. In this class, we will discuss contraception and abortion in great detail, but our focus goes beyond a limited pro-choice vs. pro-life framework. We will discuss the reproductive health and access of people across genders, sexualities, social class, and race/ethnicity and immigration status. We discuss past and ongoing reproductive oppression of communities of color, but we will also talk about the ways in which society can support pregnant people and parents.
