reproductive autonomy
Control over procreation
Reproductive autonomy is the right to make decisions about one's own reproduction—whether to have children, when, how many, and by what means.
The concept encompasses access to contraception, abortion, fertility treatments, and pregnancy care.
Reproductive autonomy has become central to debates over bodily rights.
The term appears frequently in legal, medical, and political contexts.
