- Title
The Reproductive Injustices of Abortion Bans for Disability.
- Authors
Huberfeld, Nicole; McClain, Linda C.; Ahmed, Aziza; Francis, Leslie
- Abstract
This article argues that state laws banning abortions for disability violate reproductive justice for parents with disabilities. These bans deprive people with disabilities of choices that may be important to their possibilities of becoming parents, including possibilities for abortion of pregnancies that have become risky to continue. Far from protecting disability civil rights, these state law bans restrict the abilities of people with disabilities to choose to have children and to parent.
