Social Media Manifesto: Healthcare Prenatal and pregnancy care access is a **human right**, not a charity. However, your income, insurance, ZIP code, and immigrant status can all affect your chances of surviving pregnancy in the United States today. That is injustice. #njcurj #ReproductiveJustice

#njcurj It might be difficult for male partners of women having abortions to balance their supporting role in a women-centered environment with conventional masculinity. This study investigates how people overcome this obstacle and reinterpret masculinity.

#njcurj "In the healthcare industry, emotional safety is equally as important as physical safety. In addition to therapeutic results, patients' "feeling safe" should be a primary priority. It's time to reconsider patient safety in a way that goes beyond simply "being safe."

#njcurj Why does she always have to do it? Holding everyone accountable, including males, is a key component of reproductive justice. Men are taught to distance themselves from decisions about abortion, parenthood, and contraception via gendered scripts.RJ demands shared responsibility..

#njcurj Parenting is revered in my culture and others, yet the system only helps some parents. While "welfare moms" are demonized, "deadbeat dads" disappear. I say this as a woman of color: reproductive justice entails fairness, compassion, and lack of guilt.

#njcurj With so many people bearing the burden of forced births, medical racism, or generational loss, it is impossible to divorce reproductive justice from pain. Justice entails paying attention, keeping in mind, and turning suffering into defense.

#njcurj Trauma of racism, poverty, and medical neglect must be at the heart of reproductive justice. When people are still getting over being denied choice, you can't discuss it.

#njcurj Reproductive justice is about power, not just about access. Healthcare systems strengthen control over whose bodies are valued and whose are not when they disregard the demands of underprivileged communities.

#njcurj Reproductive oppression occurs when legislation, poverty, or racism prevent people from accessing reproductive care. Systemic violence occurs when people are denied authority over their bodies.

#njcurj People, particularly women of color, incur the risk when rules define pregnancy and embryos become capital. More than just choice, reproductive justice calls for everyone to have access, freedom, and equity.

#njcurj Living people suffer while the unborn are utilized as political currency. Its company disregards structural racism, poverty, and maternal health. Living realities, not merely prenatal potential, are at the heart of reproductive justice.

#njcurj "Do women really have rights if being pregnant can result in prison for mental health issues or miscarriage? The case of Bei Bei Shuai is about the future of reproductive justice, not just one lady. Don't criminalize pregnancy.

#njcurj "The tragedy of Bei Bei Shuai demonstrates the horrible reality of pregnancy criminalization. For a mental health crisis, no one should be imprisoned. Reproductive justice entails empowering women rather than penalizing them.

#njcurj Companies that contaminate water with poisons that cause birth deformities are exempt from penalties under fetal injury legislation, yet pregnant women who miscarry can be imprisoned. Provide a rational explanation!!

#njcurj Although fetal harm laws are frequently presented as safeguarding expectant mothers, in reality, they have been used to criminalize them, particularly women of color. Who stands to gain?

#njcurj DEFCon is about justice, not simply digital futures. Access, racism, and technology all overlap with reproductive rights. How can we fight for reproductive justice and elevate underrepresented voices using digital tools? Let's create a future in which equity is a given.

#njcurj The pregnant pause is the space between freedom and control, rights and limitations, and more than just a brief period of silence. Reproductive justice entails speaking up and calling for everyone to have access, equity, and choice.

#njcurj The Black fetus illustration by Chidiebere Ibe is significant. Pregnancy is valued and treatment is shaped by medical pictures.

#njcurj Meredith Michaels criticizes the way that pregnant people are erased from fetal photos. The goal of promoting reproductive justice is to keep them in the spotlight.

#njcurj Dobbs not only eliminated a right but also widened already-existing disparities. Communities who are BIPOC, disabled, poor, gay, and immigrant have long experienced reproductive injustice. Justice entails defending everyone's freedom to make their own decisions.

#njcurj oppressed people will constantly struggle for their right to self-determination. The struggle never ended with Roe. Because Reproductive Justice cannot be compromised, communities organize, fight, and guarantee access.

#njcurj It went by the title "population control." We refer to it as violence. No Más Bebés serves as a reminder that sterilization abuse is still happening today. Reproductive justice remains an argument in jails and ICE detention facilities.

#njcurj No Más Bebés exposes how Mexican immigrant women were forcibly sterilized in LA without consent. Reproductive justice isn’t just about abortion—it’s about the right to have children without state control: our bodies, our choices.

#njcurj Indigenous women throughout the world are still subjected to forced sterilization, which denies them the autonomy to make decisions regarding their bodies. It's time to put a stop to these injustices and give empowerment and choice top priority.

#njcurj A heartbreaking reminder of how oppressed populations have been denied reproductive justice is the forcible sterilization of Native women. In light of this history, we must fight for all women's physical autonomy.

#njcurj Puerto Rico is rife with resistance. The fight for reproductive freedom is ongoing, ranging from opposing forced sterilizations to calling for the right to an abortion.

#njcurj The United States chose mass sterilization, not Puerto Rican women. Control over reproduction was colonial control.

#njcurj Nearly immediately after helping enslaved women in giving delivery, "Old Mama" midwives were forced to return to the fields. The struggle for reproductive justice is a struggle against denial of care, abuse, and domination.

#njcurj Because they were never given the freedom to choose how they wanted to get pregnant, enslaved women used plants like cotton root for control and sage for sore throats. Fighting for personal freedom now and in the future is what reproductive justice means.

#njcurj Instead of erasing, education should empower. However, learning came at the expense of Indigenous children's familial relationships, language, and culture in boarding schools. The act of assimilation was violent. We still need the truth and the healing.

#njcurj Since assimilation removes the depth of my Egyptian identity in order to fit into a shape that wasn't intended for me, it frequently seems like cultural genocide. Rather than erasing our cultural variety for the sake of conformity, productive justice should celebrate and protect it.

Sexual assault affects one in three Indigenous women. Their chances of being attacked are 2.5 times higher. However, access to rape kits, contraception, and abortion treatment is limited due to IHS's underfunding and restrictions. Reproductive justice is the same as sexual safety! #njcurj

#njcurj "The freedom to have children, not have children, and raise them in safe, caring communities are all part of reproductive justice, which goes below simply having access to abortion. For Indigenous women, this means breaking down colonial laws that continue controlling their bodies. "

#nurturenj #njcurj Although my experience as a pregnant NJCU student without Medicaid revealed systemic flaws, Nurture NJ strives for equal mother healthcare. Immigrant communities and kids require more urgent responses.

#RJResolutions #njcurj I want to learn more about structural injustices and utilize my voice to push for substantive change. I've decided to put my knowledge into practice and work with others to create a more equitable society.
