Woman's Rights (Reproduction Rights)

For many years, women were belittled and treated as trash or some type of robot. Many were kidnapped by tribes or forced into marriage for their families wealth. Mainly women were used for sexual beings; like reproduction. Some were victims of rape in marital and kidnappings. Some were even forced to keep the baby; in some countries, it was illegal to have an abortion. Which proves how women had no say so over their own body. Although, the man can rape her and not even give any support or his last name and the government will fully stand by it. This article pertains to human rights because "America was raised on equality". As a citizen, you are supposed to live according to your will and know the consequences; not be someone's dog. All women and men were supposed to be equal, at least that's what the government implied. However, instead of getting treated with dignity and respect they had almost the same or little lower respect than an actual slave in the early 20th century. As a woman, I believe this is cruel and unfair to have someone decide to sexually assault you and get away with it while you can't do anything about it. Although now in the 21st-century abortion is still illegal in some states it doesn't prevent you from going get it elsewhere. Mychelles (talk) 03:10, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

Academic Article Outline - Women's Rights (Reproduction/Birth Control)

Article: Women of Color and the Reproductive Rights Movement -by Jennifer Nelson

I. A March for Protection • April 25, 2004, many companies began to come together to demand reproductive rights • The first time ever that many principal organizers came together for reproductive justice of Women of Color. •"March of Choice" extended beyond abortion; made a change and gave women some rights in decision making •Marked the end of the continuous struggle and forced a more inclusive reproductive rights movements in the US that would attack the constraints on pregnancy and abortion

'''II. Black Women fights for Reproductive Justice.''' • Black women in the 1980's developed a feminist movement for reproductive freedom and legalized abortion • Very seldom that Black women receive credit for the movement but white women did. • 1960s reproductive rights promoters gained control for women by allowing them to access birth control and legal abortion in the US.• Nelson discusses the dramatic transformation of the change between 2 decades; sterilization abuse and population control. • The Redstockings era; the switch from abortion activism to feminist struggle for women's autonomy and control over reproduction• Introduce CARASA (Committee for Abortion Rights and Against Sterilization Abuse)

Contribution Outline

I. The article I will be contributing to is "Women's Rights (Reproductive Justice)" and the events that were caused by the banning of abortion; as a result form many years in the United States women had no rights in decision-making.

II. The information that's given in the article states background about how "birth control" became a fancy way of saying "family limitation" and "voluntary motherhood" and how birth control leads to abortion privileges. Birth control was introduced as an advocate for sexual intercourse with extra protection guarantee for a higher chance of not getting pregnant. This protection idea leads to the idea of "women having control of their own bodies" and similar aspects of the feminine movement. Though it started an uproar about religion, freedom, and "choice". Reproductive justice was now stirring up and finally recognized at the United Nations 1986 Conference. The article moves forward to introduce abortion and the riot it has caused about "torture, cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment". Abortion was only allowed if the woman's life was in danger in which varied in many cases and countries. If the abortion was legal, it was very difficult to even receive one. Almost as if the country offered it, but it wasn't given. The denial of a woman's decision to abort a child is a huge violation of women's rights. Russia was the first country to legalize abortion and offer free medical care to those state hospitals that needed the funding to do so. This legalization led to many debates about whether abortion should be illegal or legal around the world and who could be eligible to receive birth control.

III. • Birth control was seen in liberal's eyes as women gaining too much power; to much input in decision-making. Liberal's felt that you are supposed to have your partner's baby without no remarks which lead to the feminist movement of women not having enough respect. However, birth control was supposed to be extra coverage to avoid pregnancy.

• Abortion was illegal in some countries; very rare to come across in legal states. It was viewed as an inhumane aspect of life which wasn't supported by many. Only if abortion was legal in the countries that allowed it, no one is forced to go through a full-term pregnancy. If abortion is illegal, you must complete full-term pregnancy or you'll be punished. Which addresses the idea of "humans rights for everyone".

• Russia is the first to allow abortions came to riots about reproductive health for women. Then, Bolsheviks another country became influenced by the reproductive rights and legalized abortion.

Contribution To Article

The article I will be contributing to is "Women's Rights (Reproductive Justice)" concerning Women of Color and their struggles to receive care during their pregnancy. I will be specifically adding to Birth Control and Abortion because both play a critical role in avoiding pregnancy. Good, but right in this draft EXACTLY what you will be adding)

In the section 11.2 (Birth Control); I'll be going in depth on the struggles of Women of Color getting the specific treatment needed to prevent pregnancy. Before birth control was fully introduced and broad coasted as an advancement in avoiding pregnancy; black women were belittled and criticized. Which in most cases they were only seen as "fruit-bearing women"; nothing more nothing less. They were frowned upon for the simple fact of them being able to make children against their will, which is known as modern day rape, and that lead to the name of "Jezebels". Jezebels were known basically as a women who had a desired to engage in sexual content with many men.

In the section 11.3 (Abortion); Explaining how abortion wasn't a option or choice for the woman. To begin, the idea of abortion was a big red flag. If you were pregnant by a slave master, it just became something you had to live with. Though, in some cases it could possibly grant you a legal abortion, if your life happened to be in danger or if the child's life. Which led up to the Roe v. Wade (1973) case, that only legalized abortion in the first trimester of the pregnancy. Due to the fact that a women try to commit an illegal abortion. However, abortion in the modern day is legal but very hard to find and come out about. In recent statistics, it shows that since the Roe v. Wade case; a black woman is 5 times likely to have an abortion than a white woman.

For many years, women were belittled, criticized, and treated as trash or some type of robot. Many were kidnapped by tribes or forced into marriage for their families wealth. Mainly women were used for sexual beings; like reproduction. Women didn't have this extra protection physically or lawfully. Under some circumstances, the laws were bent a little if death was factor in the pregnancy for the mother. Though, that wasn't until a few years before the idea of "birth control" and "abortion" was brought into account. Both are ways for women to avoid pregnancy. Birth control and abortion was a huge advancement in avoiding pregnancy; for white women at least. This was still a big issue in 2004 which lead to the march for protection of women's lives. Over a million people gathered in Washington, D.C. since 1992 to make the idea of letting women have their voice back a factor in the modern day. These rallies were set up by women of pro-choice; respect the idea of abortion and keeping a potential life. Though, in 1960s reproductive rights promoters helped women gain control of their bodies to have a legal abortion and birth control it was still very rare to find help. In modern day America, there's about five max abortion clinics in each state and the cost is very expensive; medicaid or medicare doesn't cover these charges. Everyone in the mid- 1900s thought of abortion as huge red flag and was totally unacceptable. Birth control was seen in liberal's eyes as women gaining too much power; to much input in decision-making. Liberal's felt that you are supposed to have your partner's baby without no remarks which lead to the feminist movement of women not having enough respect. As a women, you are looked as "fruit-bearing women" nothing more or less of that. While being forced to carry a full term pregnancy through rape of your master, you were frowned up and called sick names such as the infamous "Jezebel". Many women of color are still against the idea of "birth control" because black women were used as lab rats for new drugs for avoiding pregnancy. Though, Roe v. Wade is an outdated case the meaning and impact still hold a lot of weight on the aspect of women's reproductive rights.
