Abstract:
With the social transformation， single women’s reproductive rights have appeared more and more frequently in the public sphere. However， the relevant legal norms have not yet clarified reproductive rights. This paper demonstrated the nature and subjects of reproductive rights， as well as clarified that reproductive rights are human rights owned equally by all natural persons. Judicially， it also analyzed the phenomenon of differential treatment of single women and single widowed women in the realization of their reproductive rights from the judicial practice， explored the main factors for widowed single women to realize their reproductive rights， and compared the possibilities of realizing single reproduction. Conceptually， the main ethical objections against single women’s realization of their reproductive rights were discussed to eliminate the obstacles to single women’s reproductive rights. From the perspective of social reality， the transformation of social factors such as fertility concepts and child-rearing structures were analyzed， to demonstrate the legitimacy and reality of the realization of single women’s reproductive rights.
