Reproductive Injustice

Are you ready for a brand-new episode of Higher Education with Dr. BFran? As pregnancy and birth have become central conversations for many governments globally, are we talking about reproductive justice?In this episode, Dr. B Fran shares her thoughts on reproductive injustice. Framing the conversation in the three tenets of the reproductive justice framework, this episode explores the policies that are driving adverse maternal and infant health outcomes, the inability to create targeted health interventions for Black women in the U.S, further restrictions to abortion access, and increased surveillance for pregnant people. This is a conversation we cannot afford to not have. Is there room for reproductive autonomy? Should governments ask people to become pregnant without creating the conditions for them to thrive? Will the policies that seemingly have nothing to do with health, compromise the health of families? These are all questions that need answers. Listen in for Dr. B Fran’s thoughts on the topic. For more from Dr. Brittney Francis:Tik Tok Instagram PublicationsProduced by Peoples Media Hosted on Acast.
