 | | These rights rest on the recognition of the basic right of all couples and individuals to decide freely and responsibly the number, spacing and timing of their children and to have the information and means to do so, and the right to attain the highest standard of sexual and reproductive health. | | | Reproductive decision-making, including voluntary choice in marriage, family formation and determination of the number, timing and spacing of one's children and the right to have access to the information and means needed to exercise voluntary choice | | | Attaining the goals of sustainable, equitable development requires that individuals are able to exercise control over their sexual and reproductive lives. |

| | Reproductive Justice |
| | It stipulates that reproductive justice will be achieved when women and girls have the economic, social, and political power and resources to make healthy decisions about our bodies, sexuality, and reproduction for ourselves, our families, and our communities in all areas of our lives. | | | Reproductive Justice calls for integrated analysis, holistic vision, and comprehensive strategies that push against the structural and societal conditions that control our communities by regulating our bodies, sexuality, and reproduction. | | | As we are currently experiencing an escalated assault on women& rights as well as a shrinking of the mainstream reproductive health and rights movement, it is critical that we include a Reproductive Justice Framework in our collective work. |

| | Society should shrug off the negative connotations of “rape”, “molestation”, “domestic violence”, etc., and these rights must no longer be exercised furtively in back alleys but allowed to be enjoyed in the full light of day, free from disapproval and intolerance. | | | Men, by privileging virility, by investing our sense of sexual [and reproductive] validity in the effect our bodies can have on the bodies of women, have created a situation in which our feelings of sexual [and reproductive] self-worth depend upon the presence of women. | | | After stating the pro-choice position that the debate about reproductive rights “is really about a woman’s control over her body,” Conley goes on to write, “Hence my lack of rights to have any say in whether my seed comes to fruition.” |

| | Because Nelson provides little by way of analysis of the reproductive rights movement as a social movement, basic information, such demographic profiles of members, organizational structure, and ties between the various groups she discusses, is missing. | | | Thus, while the goals of the reproductive rights movement became more inclusive, the movement itself may have remained dominated by European-American feminists. | | | Her work will make an excellent text for both undergraduate students and scholars seeking more specific information about the role of women of color in the reproductive rights movement. |

| | Some advocates also favor the term because they embrace a basic human rights moral justification for their position. | | | Supporters of reproductive rights often take the position that such principles fall within the context of the right to privacy, or freedom from governmental interference, supporting legalized contraception and abortion. | | | In this context, “reproductive rights” is largely perceived as being synonymous with the “pro-choice” position, which states that a woman ought to be in control of her own body by deciding if and when she reproduces. |
