Strict Scrutiny
The book covered 12 canonical and lesser-known cases concerning Reproductive Rights and Justice, focusing on the intersection of race, class, sexuality, and sex with politics and law used to regulate reproduction.

The book covered 12 canonical and lesser-known cases concerning Reproductive Rights and Justice, focusing on the intersection of race, class, sexuality, and sex with politics and law used to regulate reproduction. The speakers expressed excitement about bringing this broader view of reproduction, beyond just abortion or contraception, into legal academia to train the next generation of advocates.
We are here to celebrate these three brilliant women, Kate Shaw, Melissa Murray, Riva Segal, and the publication of their book, Reproductive Rights and Justice Stories.
The book covers 12 both canonical and less known cases about Reproductive Rights and Justice.
And the book that we wrote in 2014 and then the book that Riva, Kate and I put together in 2019, thinks about it. Not just abortion, not just contraception, but all of the decisions that go into the organization and arrangement and creation of intimate life.
And so by having a case book, it legitimizes the field. It makes it possible for the field to be taught in law school.
And one that Riva, Kate and I were excited to make accessible by telling the stories of these cases, some of which are quite familiar, some of which are not in ways that make clear the stakes for reproductive rights and justice for everyone.
