The panel will discuss the intersections between reproductive rights and disability justice, exploring how and where these independent areas of law overlap; the effect of the changing reproductive rights landscape on people with disabilities and disability law; the potential tension between disability rights commitments and access to abortion; the extent to which the law acts as both barrier and an avenue to sexual freedom for disabled people; and the legal landscape facing people with disabilities who wish to become parents.
