ABSTRACT
In the chapter, it is discussed that when they are talking about involving Black women in the reproductive rights movement or any movement, they have to look at where abortion and other health concerns fall in the priorities of Black women, particularly poor Black women. It takes space in our life and control of our life to be able to think about working on preserving a right which we might want to exercise in the future. Health in general is not high up on the priority list of communities of color at this point. Because we can’t really think about going to the doctor, let alone all the stuff that has been mashed on us in the last decade or so around wellness, if food and shelter are literally our priorities.
