Abortion, Reproductive Justice, and Justice-Based Sexual Ethics in the Episcopal Church.

- Abstract
This article offers a critical theo-ethical reflection on abortion from a reproductive justice (RJ) perspective. Focusing on the socio-political structure that shapes abortion discourses and legislation and affects women's agency over their reproductive ability, I complicate the ways of thinking about abortion. The abortion debate reveals what we, as the church, value, how we embody God's love and justice, and how we should live. In search of the answers to these questions, the article engages in women of color's theory and activism for RJ through the theological, the political, and the sexual. Finally, the article suggests that the Episcopal/Anglican church reconsider abortion as a social justice issue and meditate on its commitment to God's justice in light of RJ.
