1. What is the author’s main point (or thesis)? Give a full explanation of the thesis or main point of the reading. (This should take you about one full paragraph.)
The author’s main objective is to explain how the movement for reproductive autonomy can be purposeful if every individual and organization that shares a common ground can work in areas where they are most effective and to explain the value in choice. The author believes that the success and strength of a movement come from the partnerships of any group or individual person reaching out to their own communities in their own unique ways as opposed to a monolithic organization.

The author makes it clear that one should not be dictatorial in having every group follow after them in the use of reproductive justice. This is because reproductive justice and pro-choice hold slightly different meanings that make them unable to be interchangeable. In fact, the author explains the challenges of the reproductive justice framework that makes it impossible to use as a substitute word for choice. This is because often time reproductive justice organizations focus on multiple issues.

Hover, all of these organizations, including reproductive justice and pro-choice, are bound by the commonalities that each issue shares. Pro-choice organizations cannot dismiss the social justice aspect, and at the same time, reproductive justice should not neglect abortion in their fight to eradicate inequalities in these systems affecting women’s reproductive health. This common principle they share should be reasons to support each other and not attack the other. Infect, intersectionality was the reason behind how many women’s organizations fought together to defeat the two ballets that threatened access to abortion and religious liberty, because each organization recognized the impact that such a proposal could have on oppressing the women they were fighting
