| Sumario: | Abortion is a reproductive phenomenon common to all women and individuals with a uterus, but diverse social and historical contexts will determine how Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, and other racially oppressed individuals with a uterus will experience this reproductive event. The intersection of gender inequalities and racism and their manifestations will determine how these women experience abortion, whether in the context of unintended pregnancy, the decision to end a pregnancy, relationships with partners and support networks, or access to health care services. Black women face greater solitude when deciding to end a pregnancy and experience the highest maternal mortality rates due to unsafe abortion. Therefore, reproductive justice that recognizes the humanity of women and acknowledges the world's diverse forms of oppression that have defined the reproductive destiny of Black, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, and Southern Global women is fundamental. All women and individuals with a uterus have the right to make reproductive choices without being condemned to death. |
