Today, on this 39th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision, @amaditalks tweeted:

On the anniversary of Roe, today we must dedicate ourselves like never before to inclusive, progressive, reproductive justice.

Hear, hear, Amadi!

I’m pretty sure that an awful lot of people, including feminists, have no idea what reproductive justice is or means. As long as middle class white women have access to abortions they don’t give a shit about all the other issues involved in reproductive justice

Which was my point, and why I talk about reproductive justice, and keep talking about it, and not just about “choice” or simply abortion, which is just the tip of the iceberg. It’s why I talk about reproductive justice and not merely access to reproductive healthcare or access, because this isn’t just about what happens in medical offices. It’s why I don’t talk about just women, as much as I appreciate Dr. Tiller’s motto of “trust women,” because some people who need reproductive healthcare do not identify as such, and failure to recognize that leads us further from what should be our true goals.
