New Disabled South advocates for comprehensive bodily autonomy for all disabled people, emphasizing the right to make informed decisions about their own bodies without coercion or undue restriction.
We support accessible reproductive healthcare (including abortion care), gender-affirming care, and the right to refuse medical interventions.
New Disabled South opposes eugenics, assisted suicide, institutionalization, forced treatment, and guardianship systems that are coercive and strip disabled people of their agency. We advocate for policies that prioritize consent, self-determination, and equitable access to fully accessible healthcare and social services.
New Disabled South calls for the dismantling of ableist structures that deny bodily autonomy and the creation of systems that honor disabled people’s choices and dignity.
