520 |a Part of series intended for young adults (16-25). Decades after abortion was legalized and decriminalized in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom, why are we still fighting for reproductive rights? Shattering the myth that the battle for reproductive rights was won in the sixties, seventies and eighties, Fired Up about Reproductive Rights shows us the many ways our reproductive lives remain subject to state control. From the fight for safe, legal and accessible abortion services to the fight against coercive sterilization, eugenics and population control, threats to our reproductive control remain alive and well in our communities. Far from just debates over morality or religion, the regulation of sexuality, fertility and reproduction has been a major way that societies have ensured the domination of men over women, rich people over poor people and white people over people of color. Engaging with the reproductive justice framework advanced by women of color, the book presents the fight for reproductive rights as continuous with other social justice issues, and forces us to grapple with the weaknesses of the feminist and reproductive rights movement as it exists. Accessible and engaging, this book gives readers the tools to understand, and fight against, contemporary threats to our reproductive rights.
