| | Although these rights are not specified as such in any of international legal instruments of human rights, they are implicit in all of them and are defined in a range of non-treaty human rights declarations and action platforms. | | | Women’s sexual and reproductive rights under international human rights law are, therefore, the outcome of a combination of civil, political, social, cultural, and economic rights. | | | In addition, there are various rights that are directly impeded for women when reproductive rights are violated, like the right to work and to education. |

| | In the United States Constitution, the right to privacy has been interpreted to include reproductive rights, as seen in such Supreme Court cases as Griswold v. | | | Supporters of reproductive rights often take the position that such principles fall within the context of the right to privacy, or freedom from governmental interference, supporting legalized contraception and abortion. | | | In this context, “reproductive rights” is largely perceived as being synonymous with the “pro-choice” position, which states that a woman ought to be in control of her own body by deciding if and when she reproduces. |
