While I don’t disagree that the POV in La’Tasha’s quote is pro-choice, she’s also offering an additional perspective. Reproductive justice isn’t a new framing — it’s way of acknowledging that ensuring the right to a legal abortion is important, but that there’s also more to ensuring reproductive freedom than having the legal right to an abortion. Absolutely, some of the same people who would legislate abortion out of existence attack reproductive freedom more broadly — you mention sex ed and contraception, and to that I’d also add affordable healthcare, living wage work, immigration status, education, and freedom from violence in our communities. Organizations like New Voices are integral to protecting those rights and freedoms, and I’m glad to have their perspective.

I hate it when people recycle the same stuff we’ve been saying for DECADES (can you say, “safe, legal, and rare”?!) and then try to repackage it and say, “oooh, now we’ve thought of this new thing that people would have been toooootally happy with women’s rights if we’d just framed it this way before.”

Memo: the vast majority of anti-abortion activists are against women being allowed contraception, sex education, and now even life-saving medical attention. Lots of them don’t even want us to work outside the home.
