At Conversations for a Better World, a multivoiced blog sponsored by UNFPA, an All Our Lives cofounder defends guaranteed maternity care as a universal human right: It Affects Us All: Maternal Healthcare
Welcome!
Welcome to All Our Lives! We are working for a world in which reproductive and sexual decisions are made free from domination, coercion, and violence. We are working for reproductive peace.
"Reproductive peace" is a philosophy that combines principles of the reproductive justice and consistent life ethic movements. Like our sisters in the reproductive justice movement, we condemn and fight the many intersecting injustices that work against women's ability to live, love, and reproduce — or not — freely. And like consistent life ethic proponents, we seek to respond to oppression in ways that do not take human life before or after birth.
Nobody is defending women's right to make all non-violent choices about their sexual and reproductive lives without advocating for abortion as well. All Our Lives will change that. Our mission is to model a woman-centric, non-violent and inclusive approach to issues of health, sexuality, and reproduction. We plan to start a conversation on how to foster a sexual ethic that combines freedom with responsibility toward not only one's self and one's partner, but also toward any child who might be conceived. If that sounds like something you want to be part of, please get involved.
