Descrição: From history to present day, various territories have utilized both socio-political systems and compulsory powers to place restrictions on reproductive information, healthcare, supplies, procedures, and services pertaining to birth control, sterilization, emergency contraception, and abortion. Quintessentially, these restrictions have uniquely impacted African American women, limiting reproduction for some, and mandating it others. This article takes a comparative historical approach and examines reproductive slavery in the United States during the Atlantic Slave Trade (1619–1865), as well as reproductive restrictions implemented over the last fifty years (1970–2022). This article asserts that the events and policies that occurred in the latter era are an extension of colonial reproductive slavery. Further, this article includes a discussion on the critical importance of intersectional feminist perspectives in discussions of reproductive policies, bodily autonomy, and labor markets.
