	Reproductive rights - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		"Reproductive rights” is largely perceived as being synonymous with the “pro-choice” position, which states that abortion should be a legal option for any pregnant woman.
		Members of the reproductive rights movement also believe that reproductive rights are human rights, and as such men and women should be granted affordable access to contraception, as well as education about contraception and sexually transmitted infections, and freedom from coerced sterilization and contraception.
		Supporters of reproductive rights often take the position that such principles fall within the context of the right to privacy, or freedom from governmental interference, supporting legalized contraception and abortion.

	WHRnet Issue - Sexual and Reproductive Rights
		The term “reproductive rights” emerged to refer to human rights related to reproductive health, and in a broader way, human rights pertaining to human reproduction, including rights that are undermined in the context of population development policies.
		Although these rights are not specified as such in any of international legal instruments of human rights, they are implicit in all of them and are defined in a range of non-treaty human rights declarations and action platforms.
		Different international treaties form the basis for recognition and protection of sexual and reproductive rights, because they include protection of such fundamental rights as the right to life, to health, and to equality and non-discrimination, to personal integrity and freedom from violence, which are at the core of these rights.

		Reproductive freedom is more foundational than we had remembered — it’s the second prong in the right to privacy.
		Right now women are not responsible when it comes to getting pregnant because they know they can always force a guy to support her once she has a baby.
		Because they’re not claiming that their reproductive right is so strong as to require a dead baby, they can argue that only a woman’s “bodily integrity” allows a dead baby, but the right to “reproductive autonomy” is sufficient to allow them to refuse non-body parental duties.

	2005: A Dramatic Year for Women's Reproductive Rights (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		A woman's right to control her reproductive life came even more intensely in focus during 2005 as controversial Supreme Court nominations and important legal challenges moved to the forefront.
		In 2005 women's reproductive rights advocates sought protection against harmful state and federal laws in a handful of important cases.
		NOW opposes such legislation because a "person" has specific rights under the United States constitution, and establishing that fetuses are "persons" is part of a long-term strategy by abortion rights opponents to bring fetal rights into direct competition with those of the mother and to eventually to have abortion legally defined as murder.

		CLPP's stand is an unfortunate result of conflicting "rights", with the "right" to adopt winning out over the right of a mother to keep her own child.
		It could be your daughter or granddaughter who is pressured into surrendering her parental rights when all she really needs is some temporary assistance and moral support in order to keep her child and prevent a life-time of suffering from an unnecessary loss that is unacknowledged by society.
		But there are countries which support women in the right to keep their children, such as Australia and Sweden, where mothers are counseled to keep their children to prevent the harm that comes from separating them.

		Instead of ending our efforts to protect women’s health and rights, that ruling galvanized us, leading to the enactment in 1994 of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, 18 U.S.C. The FACE law, as it is known, has led to a drastic decline in clinic harassment and violence.
		Legal Momentum has repeatedly joined forces with other groups to support poor women’s right to choose when and whether to have children, both by defending Medicaid funding for abortion, and by fighting “child exclusion” policies that deny welfare benefits when women choose to have children.
		As the Supreme Court becomes more hostile to abortion rights in particular, Legal Momentum is taking the lead in making the case – in legal briefs, and to the public – that legal abortion is essential to women’s equality.
