Reproduction includes pregnancy on up through raising your children. #ReproductiveRights includes ALL of these things. ALL are under attack--by the same people, for the same reasons. Women will NEVER be free and equal until we understand this.
Using your body to give life and to nurture it is a right, a tremendous burden, and a service to society. It should always be a choice freely made, and fully supported.
