But the resistance is fierce, led by a new generation of activists of colour dedicated to building an inclusive movement. In \u003ci\u003eAbortion and Reproductive Justice\u003c\/i\u003e, widely recognised movement leaders Marlene Gerber Fried and Loretta J. Ross provide a history of abortion politics through a reproductive justice framework that centres those most vulnerable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book emphasises that the right to have and raise children is as important for reproductive choice as the right not to. This critical approach—originating in Black feminism—provides grounding for radical abortion advocacy. Calling on us to join in, the book highlights abortion stories from individuals and organisations who are putting this analysis into action on the front lines, in the United States and beyond. By linking abortion rights to broader social justice initiatives, including Black Lives Matter, immigrant and refugee rights, disability justice, and LGBTQ+ rights, the authors expand the conversation at a critical moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46788112449772,"sku":"9780520421141","price":52.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/7431743482373.jpg?v=1756936098"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/loretta-j-ross.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
