The last few years have witnessed urgent conversations on reproductive justice globally, following the setbacks to abortion rights in the US and its legalization or decriminalization in Latin American contexts. Yet questions of reproductive justice are not only about abortion: they are about parenting, healthcare, environmental toxicity, period dignity, and moral and religious lifeworlds.
