But, after Roe v. Wade, their determination to develop a respectable, non-confrontational movement encouraged many of them to use the word choice-an easier concept for people weary of various rights movements. At first, the distinction in language didn't seem to make much difference-the law seemed to guarantee both. But, in the years since, the change has become enormously important. In Beggars and Choosers, Solinger shows how historical distinctions between women of color and white women, between poor and middle-class women, were used in new ways during the era of "choice." Politicians and policy makers began to exclude certain women from the class of "deserving mothers" by using the language of choice to create new public policies concerning everything from Medicaid funding for abortions to family tax credits, infertility treatments, international adoption, teen pregnancy, and welfare. Solinger argues that the class-and-race-inflected guarantee of "choice" is a shaky foundation on which to build our notions of reproductive freedom. Her impassioned argument is for reproductive rights as human rights-as a basis for full citizenship status for women.
