The WRJ-RAC Reproductive Health & Rights Campaign is not just about the legal right to an abortion — after all, the right to an abortion is meaningless if it is not accessible or affordable. It isn’t even solely about abortion. The campaign is about building a world in which all people are able to shape their sexual and reproductive lives with dignity, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, (dis)ability, immigration status, geographic location, or income.
