African American Women Are For Reproductive Freedom, brochure 1990

Title: African American Women Are For Reproductive Freedom, brochure 1990
Description: In this brochure titled “African American Women are for Reproductive Freedom,” the authors define abortion not only a choice, nor an aspect of the right to healthcare, but as a discrete aspect of a universal right coined as “reproductive freedom.” Here, abortion is part of a list of basic rights to control one’s reproductive life. The brochure’s meaning of “reproductive freedom” significantly broadens the fight for abortion to include racial, economic, and social justice. This brochure squarely situates abortion as one part of the larger struggle for reproductive rights, which they deem an elemental right for all women.
