Join Dr. Nikia S. Robert and guest, Dr. Toni M. Bond, in a conversation about reproductive justice and abolition. We delve into the overturning of Roe v Wade, reproductive justice, and its life-changing importance for Black women.

Toni M. Bond is one of the twelve Black women who coined the term “reproductive justice” in 1994. Her research is informed by reproductive justice and is situated at the intersections of religion and reproductive and sexual justice. She is advancing the field of reproductive justice through her qualitative research on the impact of oppressive theological doctrines in the reproductive and sexual lives of Black women. Dr. Bond is also researching the unique forms of harassment and violence experienced by abortion care providers of color. Her current work is aimed at (1) identifying the number of abortion care providers of color in the US, (2) collecting their oral narratives about the harassment they have experienced by anti-choice proponents who use race and religion as tactics, and (3) developing resources to support abortion care providers of color who experience racial and religiously-based harassment.  

Dr. Bond received her doctoral degree in philosophy in religion, ethics, and society from Claremont School of Theology.
