This was DENSE, but it was worth trudging through. It’s slow. A lot of information to process. On the other hand, it’s very informative. Reproductive issues are much more than the bourgeois, individualistic fight for abortion (or choice, as some call it).
This is an introduction, but it is a tough read. If you’re interested in a deeper analysis on reproductive issues, this is a great starting point to jump into the complex, intersectional web of reproductive Justice. I will likely be rereading this one.

Let‘s just say the timing was right to crack this open. A critically informative read removed from a purely pro-life/pro-choice dichotomy, Loretta Ross instead reframes women‘s reproductive rights within a human rights framework, a radical re-contextualization that demands not only reproductive health but a total reworking of all social determinants that plague, especially, poor women of color. Something is not a right if not ALL women have access to it.
