NEW RELEASE
Beyond Choice
An Essential Workbook for Personal and Community Transformation Through Reproductive Justice
A transformative framework that moves beyond abortion access to
address the systemic barriers facing our communities. Dr. DeShawn
Taylor offers a compassionate, clear-eyed guide to understanding
reproductive freedom through the lens of dignity, equity, and justice.
Our Mission
Health Justice MD exists to advance Reproductive Justice through education, analysis, and thoughtful dialogue. We create space for understanding the systems that shape reproductive autonomy and build pathways toward equity.
As an abortion provider, I witness daily how personal healthcare decisions intersect with systems of power—economic, racial, geographic, and political. This work is not only about medical care; it's about understanding and dismantling the barriers that prevent people from exercising full bodily autonomy.
Reproductive Justice demands that we look beyond individual choice to address the structural conditions that make true freedom possible. It asks us to center dignity, equity, and the lived experiences of those most impacted by reproductive oppression.
The Reproductive Justice Framework
Four Fundamental human rights that form the foundation of Reproductive Justice
1
The Right to Have Children
Supporting individuals and families who choose to have children through access to fertility care, prenatal support, and freedom from coerced sterilization.
2
The Right to Not Have Children
Ensuring access to contraception, abortion, and comprehensive reproductive healthcare without stigma, barriers, or political interference.
3
The Right to
Parent in Safe Communities
Supporting individuals and families who choose to have children through access to fertility care, prenatal support, and freedom from coerced sterilization.
