“It basically rests on three primary tenets. We join with the Pro-Choice movement in fighting for the right not to have a child. So that includes using things like birth control, and abortion - and abstinence, if you can hold on. And so that’s where our agendas overlap. But because Reproductive Justice was a theory and practice created by Black women -  which I’ll talk about later - we have to respond to the incessant demands that we control our fertility. Otherwise known as eugenics and population control. Because we’re told that our children are a problem and our fertility is a problem. So the second tenet of Reproductive Justice is the right to have the children that you want to have. And under the conditions under which you want to have them. So that is on yet another movement called Birth Justice, that talks about the right to use doulas, and midwives, the right to have your birth plans respected if you use a traditional medical system. And the right to refuse, for example, an unnecessary an unmedically necessary forced Caesarean. And then the third tenet of Reproductive Justice is the one that is the broadest because it deals with the right to raise our children in safe and healthy environments.”
