We also hope to explore the connections of reproductive rights to chattel slavery, eugenics, feminist movements, and capitalism. In these ways, we aim to broaden our exploration of reproductive rights to those outside of the United States to see how United States\u2019s reproductive rights policies have shaped other countries, such as through Cold War rhetoric and, more recently, the (re)implementation of the Global Gag Rule.
