The Fight over Choice
The History and Future of Reproductive Rights
From the Series Spotlight on Social Justice
Learn about the history and future of reproductive justice.
Reproductive rights guarantee individuals the freedom to make decisions about their bodies and reproductive health. These rights include access to safe and effective health care, the ability to choose whether or when to have children, the right to express their gender identity how they wish, and more.
People, particularly women, have faced extreme barriers to reproductive rights throughout history. The Fight over Choice explores some of these barriers and how people and organizations have fought to overcome them through reproductive justice. By highlighting these efforts, it underscores the significance of empowering individuals to secure their reproductive rights and make informed choices about their bodies and futures.

Reviews
Booklist
“Offers a rich opportunity for critical thinking about a variety of contemporary and historical matters. . . Nuanced debates throughout the series suggest that assumptions that have been made about disenfranchised groups, governments, human bodies, and reliance upon animals need to be reexamined. Each book suggests a range of actions engaged readers can take: education, advocacy, activism, and collaboration.”—starred, Booklist
School Library Journal
“Kukla delivers a clear, inclusive, well-researched overview of reproductive rights and their long, complex history. . . A straightforward, inclusive primer on reproductive rights recommended for young adult collections.”—School Library Journal
