"Reproductive justice theory and methodology provide a critical framework within which to analyze the potential impacts of reproductive and genetic technologies on women of color, Indigenous women, young women and girls, economically vulnerable women, women with disabilities, lesbians, bisexual women, and transgender people. The potential benefits and risks lie at the intersection of multiple social and political forces. The reproductive justice movement fights for the rights of all women to decide to have children as well as not to have children, and to parent with dignity and respect." 

Genetic Politics: From Eugenics to Genome Debating the rise of genetics in today's medical world, this study examines the values and practices that continue to shape the field of genetics. It argues that genetics as a whole is neither immune to nor ruined by the practice of eugenics, the scientific improvement of hereditary qualities. In contrast, it presents the hypothesis that genetics must be understood within the complex social and cultural processes that continue to shape it. While genetic technology may undermine an individual's freedom, that does not discount its merit. Instead, it emphasizes the importance of listening to women and disabled citizens, as they will be directly affected by the new genetic technologies.
