How might decolonial thinking help us understand the broader implications of their strategies and legal discursive shifts?

Drawing on several constitutional case-studies to guide the discussion, she will underscore the theoretical, policy and legal implications of framings focused on “reproductive justice” in how health and abortion care are integrated into broader social justice issues.
