Abstract
A myriad of social and economic institutions, legal structures, and identities both enable and constrain reproductive experiences. Reproductive health, reproductive rights, and reproductive justice are related concepts that together describe the range of sites, forms of struggle, and goals within the broader reproductive movements. The terms point to how reproductive politics has been engaged in the United States and, to some degree, globally. The entry highlights some key historical approaches, legal cases, and social movement activity.
