As #coronavirus spreads, our fight for #reproductivejustice is as important as ever. Let us explain (thread):
@SisterSong defines #reproductivejustice as our “human right to maintain personal bodily autonomy, have children, not have children, and parent the children we have in safe and sustainable communities.”
All Above All’s work for RJ focuses on lifting bans on insurance abortion coverage. We believe everyone should be able to make their own decision about pregnancy & be able to access the health care they need, and that racism and classism make that reality impossible to achieve.
We should all be able to care for our health&the health of our families without fear of losing our jobs or going into debt—this includes getting care for a range of health needs like the flu or cold, annual check-ups, prenatal care, or abortion care, and #coronavirus.
We should be able to care for our children when they are home from school without fear of losing our jobs.
That's why fair wages, paid sick leave to care for ourselves and our loved ones, & a health care system that works for everyone are so important. Establishing these is a key part of our work towards reproductive justice.
While #coronavirus doesn't discriminate, our unequal health care system&insufficient safety net does. This epidemic will fall hardest on those who already lack health care, are struggling financially and are without child care options and resources to prevent/treat the virus.
More thoughts on reproductive and other consequences of coronavirus from our colleagues at the @Guttmacher Institute: guttmacher.org/article/2020/0…
Each of us should be able to live, work & make decisions about our health & our future with dignity & economic security. And as #coronavirus spreads in our country, we hope more people will join us in recognizing that health care, paid sick leave, and fair wages benefit us all.
