Text around image reads, "reproductive freedom for all women, War Resisters League." Reverse reads, "Reproductive Freedom for all women! A woman's right to control her body, to make her own sexual choices, is a fundamental principle of a nonviolent society. Limited access to contraception, abortion, pr-natal care & childcare is violence against women. Al women have the right to decide if and when to have children. Forced sterilization, practiced predominantly against women of color, is a violent act of racist oppression. We affirm a woman's right to self-determination. By squandering resources on the military, the government is spending to destroy rather than nurture life. Instead of weapons we need adequate food, housing, childcare, healthcare and liberatory education. Believing war to be a crime against humanity, the War Resisters League advocates nonviolent resistance to create a society free of war, racism, sexism and human exploitation.
