A Reproductive Justice Approach to Women's Health

In: Analyses of social issues and public policy, Band 14, Heft 1, S. 205-209

Abstract

This commentary provides a brief history of the term reproductive justice and describes ways that it differs from the more commonly used term reproductive rights. Reproductive justice is a broader concept, situated firmly in the movement for social justice and based on a principle of positive rights. The author then shows how the articles by Mollen () and DeLucca and Lobel () both reflect and contribute to our understanding of reproductive justice.
