| description | The <i>Roe</i> v. <i>Wade</i> case, which legally supported abortion in the U.S., was overturned in 2022, and the international conversation about reproductive justice gained momentum as a result. Reproductive justice is a concept that advocates reproductive freedom (the freedom to have/not have children and the freedom to raise children in a healthy environment) for all couples and individuals. This paper introduces the family care relationship in reproductive justice and presents a concept of reproductive justice. By incorporating family care relationships in the concept of reproduction, the complexity and uniqueness of the reproductive choice process are preserved. Family care relationships are well suited for focusing on family-centered societies and the processes leading to abortion care, and autonomous decision-making in reproductive choice can be strengthened. It is important to explore appropriate support methods from the dynamism of the caring network, advocate for positive freedom, and settle the decision-making power in a moderated position, even with some abandonment of individualism. |
