This commentary provides a brief history of the term reproductive justice and describes ways that it differs from the more commonly used term reproductive rights. Reproductive justice is a broader concept, situated firmly in the movement for social justice and based on a principle of positive rights. The author then shows how the articles by Mollen ([Russo, N. F., 1976]) and DeLucca and Lobel ([DeLuca, R. S., 2014]) both reflect and contribute to our understanding of reproductive justice.
