Thank you! What a fantastic round up. Here in Australia we also face having our right to homebirth with the careprovider of our choosing being removed shortly. Reproductive justice also includes, as you note, the right to birth as we choose.

This is bat country. There’s no other explanation for this madness.

Yes Means Yes has a great article by Tiloma Jayasignhe called, "When Pregnancy is Outlawed, Only Outlaws Will be Pregnant," which documents how the U.S. criminal justice system controls and limits the fertility of women of color and poor women. In addition to the "crack baby" scare you mention in the linkspam, the essay includes court cases where birth control was made a condition of parole for women of color. And the crime that, in the court's eyes, requires the parolee to be on birth control? Forging checks. ...yeah.
