Reflecting on the fight for abortion rights in New York.
“Misogyny, racism, and the drug war were intersecting to deny pregnant women, especially Black pregnant women, their personhood. “
Until we are comfortable loudly discussing abortion and reproductive freedom in our communities, we will inadvertently perpetuate the idea that abortion is taboo.
While many of us are at home, anti-choice politicians and their supporters are exploiting the anxiety around COVID-19 by attacking access to abortion rights.
My faith has taught me that a woman is a human being, but a fetus is not a life until it is born.
This film clarifies that the tentacles of the anti-choice movement reach far beyond access to abortion, and we all have reason to be afraid. Check out the case of an Orthodox Jewish woman who was given a C-section against her wishes.
Why go this extra mile in support of patients? Because I’m not only pro-choice, but I am pro-abortion and pro-access. That means going beyond supporting someone’s right to choose to terminate a pregnancy but fighting to remove the barriers that may prevent them from doing so.
The prospect of losing this constitutional right is absolutely terrifying.
CPCs, also known as “fake abortion clinics” or, euphemistically, “Pregnancy Resource Centers” are essentially anti-choice hubs of misinformation.
