Reproductive Laws, Women of Color, and Low-Income Women by Laurie
Nsiah-Jefferson
This will be a tough article for you to withhold judgement. When
you do feel judgement about what the author is saying, write down the
judgement and ask yourself, “Why am I feeling judgmental?
From where are my judgments stemming?” Now try to remove your
morality to figure out what the author is arguing.
1) The author is arguing that women of color and poor women face unique
experiences with regards to reproduction. How so?
2) What about our society makes us less concerned about the health of
women of color and poor women?
3) What factors would have to be placed within society to value all
human life, regardless of race and income? Explain.
