LSRJ Forum

NARAL has attempted to draw attention to Dr. Tiller’s courageous life by honoring him with a wristband that says, simply, “Trust Women”. This is the slogan that was on a button he regularly wore. I have since discovered that it was also the slogan on a button worn by Sarah Weddington (one of the two lawyers who argued Roe v. Wade before the Supreme Court). 

This slogan has gotten me thinking about marketing. Reproductive justice is an expansive topic and it’s not readily familiar to most people. It needs a marketing strategy! I think “Trust Women” encompasses most RJ issues (although, admittedly, not all) and I feel like it has significant power in its simplicity and history. (As a bonus, I think it would be a great slogan to print on a t-shirt or a tote along with the LSRJ logo to sell as a fundraiser for my chapter next year!)

I am fearful, however, that other people will not understand it. I asked friends who were not so knowledgeable of the reproductive justice movement and they had varying responses. None were necessarily bad, but it failed to be quite as clever as I expected it to be.

Do any of you have suggestions for a new slogan for the reproductive justice movement?

Playing off the “feminism is the radical notion that women are people” buttons, how about:

Reproductive justice is the radical notion that people should be able to make their own decisions.

That’s a little much to put on a button, though…

“Reproductive justice is the radical notion that people should be able to make their own decisions.”

Haha, I think that’s absolutely perfect Megan, and definitely not putting too much on the button!

Thanks, Rick. I am glad you like it!

The website is established and from the stats you quote there is enough traffic to interest

the locals. I realised that Nielsen doesn’t serve the ads but someone in the advertising

industry told me that we needed to subscribe to Nielsen’s to attract advertiser interest.

However from your comments that’s obviously not necessary if many of the leading players

don’t subscribe.

I am of the view that mothers should be given full freedom regarding abortion. The state laws should not interfere with that freedom. I am from Middle East and abortion is strictly banned here. Five years back my daughter gave birth to a child who is mentally retarded. We had approached the authorities to abort it but they did not allow us to do. Now my son-in-law has left my daughter and has married another girl because of this child. Now I and my daughter are looking after him.

it should be regulated.
