Title: Who Is Fit for Motherhood?
Subtitle: Why Abortion Is Not the Only Reproductive Right
Description: Lauren Jade Martin, author of perzines *Boredom Sucks*, *You Might As Well Live*, and *Quantify* puts out this "condensed and simplified" version of her senior project, which focuses on the intersections of race and class in reproductive rights. She considers reproductive rights other than those related to abortion, such as forced sterilization, forced birth control, and population planning, issues that often disproportionally effect poor women, women of color, and immigrant women. The zine explores the tension between second-wave feminism and these reproductive rights abuses, and describes how the interests of middle and upper-class white women are often different from and even oppositional to the interests of poor women or women of color. Lauren includes a lengthy bibliography, photographs, historical and current information, and her email address.
