they are neither identical nor solely dependent on each other. The right to have control over one's body and reproduction is independent of economic rights. Both a woman living in poverty and a woman of wealth should have exactly the same reproductive rights.

While economic issues are affected by reproductive rights, they are not necessarily dependent on them. The two are separate things, when rights are being discussed, in my opinion. If a wealthy woman wishes to abort a fetus, as is her right, laws making that illegal have the same effect on her as they do on a woman living in poverty.

Along the same line, a person's race may well affect that person's economic potential, but simply raising that person's economic status does not ensure equal treatment under the law. Not by any means. The two are related, but are also independent of each other.
