Abstract

Abolition medicine and reproductive justice are synergistic approaches that advance a radical vision of a racially just world. Abolition medicine and reproductive justice push medical and carceral systems towards a focus on the structural factors that impede safe and dignified parenting and childrearing, bodily autonomy, and sexual and reproductive health. Persons experiencing incarceration are stripped of authority over their health decisions, bodily autonomy, and freedom, with major implications for their well-being, sexuality, and reproduction. Black and Brown individuals and communities, who are disproportionately affected by mass incarceration and health disparities, are most in need of abolitionist reproductive justice. This article urges abolitionist clinicians to interrogate the health care sector's relationships with carceral systems and reproductive oppression.

摘要

废除医学和生殖正义是协同的方法，它们推动了一个种族公正世界的激进愿景。废除医学和生殖正义促使医疗和监禁系统关注阻碍安全和有尊严的育儿、身体自主以及性和生殖健康的结构性因素。被监禁的人被剥夺了对自己健康决策、身体自主和自由的控制权，这对他们的福祉、性和生殖健康都有重大影响。受大规模监禁和健康差异影响不成比例的黑人和棕色人种个人和社区最需要废除主义的生殖正义。本文敦促废除主义临床医生审查医疗保健部门与监禁系统和生殖压迫的关系。
