Publisher's summary

Decades after abortion was legalized and decriminalized in Canada, the US, and the UK, why are we still fighting for reproductive rights? What is at stake in the fight for safe, legal, and accessible abortion services? And who benefits from our dark legacy of coercive sterilization, eugenics, and population control? Reproductive rights are rights that everyone should be fired up about!

Shattering the myth that the battle for reproductive rights has already been won, Fired Up About Reproductive Rights shows us the many ways our reproductive lives remain subject to state control. Engaging with the reproductive justice framework advanced by women of color, the book presents the fight for reproductive rights as contingent with other social justice issues and forces us to grapple with the weaknesses of the feminist and reproductive rights movement as it exists.

Accessible and engaging, this book gives listeners the tools to understand - and fight against - contemporary threats to our reproductive rights. Part of the Fired Up series for young adults.
