“…This approach, which makes no distinction between reproductive rights and justice, runs counter to those typical among reproductive justice scholars and activists, who often differentiate themselves from reproductive rights activists by suggesting the latter are too focused on legal rights to abortion, rather than access to abortion, and not focused enough on increasing social supports for raising children (Luna, 2020;Ross and Solinger, 2017). I do so because, as I have argued elsewhere, such a binary approach often functions to frame abortion as outside of reproductive justice, as a simple matter of rights (Thomsen, 2015;Thomsen and Morrison, 2020).

“…Some are non‐binary but took part as people with bodies that are also affected by a lack of reproductive rights in a way that echoes Butler's understanding of ‘woman’ as a political category. As scholars have pointed out, abortion is not something that only women experience, so it can be a form of ‘gender transgression’ (Thomsen and Morrison, 2020, p. 707). Yet, at the same time the control of abortion and reproductive rights can be seen as a form of productive violence that shapes the category of woman as a reproductive one.…”
