There is no such thing as a single-issue struggle because we do not live single-issue lives. Audre Lorde said those words and SisterSong highlights them in their education on reproductive justice. Reproductive justice affects us all, so this #womenshistorymonth I am posting the ABCs of women's health and highlighting the importance of intersectionality in our understanding of "women's issues." Women are people, and women's issues are societal issues. We must confront the constant attack on women's health, as well as the historical and present-day underfunding and undervaluing of "women's issues" as a collective across genders, sexual orientations, classes, races, abilities, and more. Because until we are all free none of us will truly be free. So join me in deepening the discussion and learning ways to take action by: 🔔 Following me and the rest of the ABCs 🏷️ Tagging someone advancing women's health 📕 & As a bonus for this topic, I have some homework to assign. Pickup Radical Reproductive Justice by Loretta Ross if you haven't already (or give it another read) I promise you'll learn something new or unlearn something old (and problematic). Today the letter is R: SisterSong defines Reproductive Justice as the human right to maintain personal bodily autonomy, have children, not have children, and parent the children we have in safe and sustainable communities. To achieve this we must: ↳Analyze power systems. ↳Address intersecting oppressions ↳Center the most marginalized. ↳Join together across issues and identities. Areas that are not often considered a reproductive justice concern but are: ↳Gun control ↳Climate change ↳Transport and urban planning ↳Career advancement ↳Mass incarceration 🗣️Let me know a topic you think of in the comments! --- #healthcareonlinkedin #nursesonlinkedin #womenshealth #intersectionality #reproductivejustice

When discussing human rights and reproductive justice, it's about empowering individuals with options. As Loretta J Ross said, “A person can’t fight for their human rights if they don’t know they have them. They got to know they have options beyond the deadly and dangerous ones.” Reproductive justice means being free to make informed choices about our bodies without discrimination, coercion, or violence. It's a fundamental aspect of our right to life, health, privacy, and education. Woodhull continues the fight for reproductive justice, a fundamental human right. When we have reproductive justice, we have reproductive freedom. #reproductivefreedom #reproductiverights #reproductivejustice #equalrights #humanrights #sexualfreedom #freedomtochoose #freeexpression

What is the most politically hated state in the U.S.? Dive into the most politically polarizing states in the US. California, often criticized by conservatives for its progressive policies and high taxes, stands as a liberal stronghold. Texas, with its conservative policies and low taxes, is frequently a target of liberal disapproval. Florida, a battleground state, sparks national debates over voting rights and education policies. New York, similar to California, is seen as a liberal bastion with high taxes and progressive stances. Alabama, known for its conservative social policies, polarizes opinions around civil rights and reproductive rights. These states epitomize the nation’s political divide, making them frequent subjects of contention. #funfacts #travel #PoliticalPolarization #USPolitics #California #Texas #Florida #NewYork #Alabama #RedStates #BlueStates #PoliticalDebate #Election2024 #PoliticalScience #ControversialTopics #InstagramPolitics #PoliticalDiscussion
