Denial of reproductive rights to people with disabilities is ableism. Denial of our needs in the reproductive justice discussion is also ableism. Telling us we don’t belong at the table is ableism. We deserve reproductive justice too, and we have needs that are not being addressed by the current reproductive rights movement.
If Equal Rights doesn't apply to everybody, you soon find it doesn't apply to anybody. Reproductive justice doesn't just apply to the right NOT to have children. It applies to the right TO have them if you want them. That is a right that is all too frequently denied people. No-one should be forced to have a baby...and no-one should be forced to not have one.
