Quote by Joycelyn Elders

If you can't control your reproduction, you can't control your life.

If you can't control your reproduction, you can't control yo

Summary

This quote suggests that being able to control one's reproductive choices is essential for exercising control over one's own life. It implies that decisions related to reproduction, such as the choice to have or not have children, can greatly impact a person's future and the direction their life takes. Without the ability to make deliberate reproductive choices, individuals may find their life path dictated by circumstances beyond their control. Thus, the quote underscores the significance of reproductive autonomy in determining and shaping one's own life.
