Ms.Magazine Dorothy Roberts, By: Moira Brennan Dorothy Roberts: What we talk about when we talk about reproductive rights

http://www.msmagazine.com/apr01/roberts.html


 * This interview was a discussion about what we talk about when we talk about reproductive rights with Dorothy Roberts. Moira Brennan begins this article by stating her surprise that within the first twenty minutes of the interview the topic of abortion does not come up at all. She states that some of the main issues Roberts brings up during the interview were welfare reform, government subsidized health care, high incarceration rates, public education and slavery. Roberts talks a lot in the interview about race also, referring to the difference between black and white women’s history with reproductive choices. She also talks about how America as a whole feels like poor black women should not reproduce, yet white women with access to reproductive technologies involving the fertility business is not a problem to anyone. Roberts sees this as a contradiction and even states, “ How do you get around the fact that many white Americans won’t do anything that they see as benefiting black people?” (Roberts).  Roberts thinks that there should be a limit on the fertility industry since everyone is also trying to limit the number of children black women have, especially in poor communities. She mentions sterilization and the insistence of black women to get Norplant implants and the Depo Provera shot to prevent reproduction.
