From her web page:

I’m currently supported by an NIH grant in Women’s Health Disparities Research (K12 HD055894).

“Sex, Unintended Pregnancy, and Poverty: One Woman’s Evolution from “Choice” to “Reproductive Justice” in Krista Jacob. Abortion under Attack: Women on the Challenges Facing Choice

I find the transition from "Choice" to "Reproductive Justice" an odd advocacy. It would seem to me that choice brings with it things like the responsibility for the consequences for that choice or its requirements - like paying for it. One could argue that the "choice" to which she refers to is health related and that it is now an ObamaCare right, but the fact that choice is involved puts it down on the side of desire, not need, at least in my opinioni. Further, adding the "Reproductive Justice" tag to it seems to be just pseudo-legal gobbledygook.

I guess she has to talk and think like this if she wants to keep her government grants.

Reproductive justice requires that men who will never personally require maternity care or other gynecological services must still fund them through their insurance plans because (and it is stated as such), ‘he’ MAY get someone pregnant someday.

It’s actually about redistributing wealth (beyond cost-sharing) and as Obamacare has been ruled a tax, taxing/billing for services that are never rendered.
