Consider the World Health Organizations definition of Reproductive Health and Reproductive Rights:
“Reproductive health, therefore, implies that people are able to have a responsible, satisfying and safe sex life and that they have the capability to reproduce and the freedom to decide if, when and how often to do so.
Implicit in this are the right of men and women to be informed of and to have access to safe, effective, affordable and acceptable methods of fertility regulation of their choice, and the right of access to appropriate health care services that will enable women to go safely through pregnancy and childbirth and provide couples with the best chance of having a healthy infant.”
These rights were being adopted as early as the 1970s, as white middle class women reclaimed ownership of their bodies and demanded the right NOT to have to bear children. Why were these rights not evenly applied to women of color who wanted the right to decide to have, or to not have children? Craft a discussion post that uses examples from the readings and the film No Mas Bebes, to show how Latinx and black women’s reproductive rights have been violated.
Like other discussions, try reference the readings and films as explicitly as possible, like using quotes.
