An impassioned argument for reproductive rights

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, advocates of legal abortion mostly used the term rights when describing their agenda. But after Roe v. Wade, their determination to develop a respectable, nonconfrontational movement encouraged many of them to use the word choice--an easier concept for people weary of various rights movements. At first the distinction in language didn't seem to make much difference-the law seemed to guarantee both. But in the years since, the change has become enormously important.

In Beggars and Choosers, Solinger shows how historical distinctions between women of color and white women, between poor and middle-class women, were used in new ways during the era of "choice." Politicians and policy makers began to exclude certain women from the class of "deserving mothers" by using the language of choice to create new public policies concerning everything from Medicaid funding for abortions to family tax credits, infertility treatments, international adoption, teen pregnancy, and welfare. Solinger argues that the class-and-race-inflected guarantee of "choice" is a shaky foundation on which to build our notions of reproductive freedom. Her impassioned argument is for reproductive rights as human rights--as a basis for full citizenship status for women.

Love this bag but the straps always adjust and loosen
I love this mini backpack purse. It’s soft and lightweight and it’s cuter than I thought it would be. The extra pockets help keep things organized and I like to keep my debit cards in the back pocket so I don’t have to open the whole bag and dig around for my card. The only thing I don’t like is the straps slide and adjusts especially if I grab it by the strap so I always have to slide the buckle back up to shorten the strap. I’ve thought about putting a small zip tie or something to tighten the strap and hopefully it would stay in place.
