■特集

“【Description】On this show, Refuge Worldwide editor Dina Elsayed is joined by Mohana Kute and Chriss Njesh (AKA Natural Girl) to discuss the implications of the groundbreaking decision by the US Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade, which marked an unprecedented attack on reproductive rights.｜This discussion examines the repercussions of this decision in other countries, and the effects of the decision beyond restricted access to abortion clinics. It also takes a closer look at Germany's own reproductive rights laws ― which continue to be labelled by activists as backward and restrictive ― and the toll they take on women, especially those of non-German origins.”

“【Description】In episode 52 of the Podcast for Social Research, BISR faculty Nara Roberta Silva, Sophie Lewis, Jenny Logan, Abby Kluchin, and Alyssa Battistoni discuss Samuel Alito’s Dobbs draft opinion, recently leaked, and the impending overturning of Roe v. Wade. Questions considered include: Alito’s reasoning, its implications for other rights, the validity of the “rights-based” approach itself (grounded in what’s implicitly a masculine (while also dis-embodied) liberal subject), abortion discourse (and the tendency to euphemize), the violence of enforced gestation, political strategy, and the need for a truly mass feminism.”

It felt like people weren’t taking it seriously. But L7 took us under their wing. It was an honor to play [Rock for Choice] and be part of this community of women in punk.””

“On the latest episode of the “Unauthorized Disclosure” weekly podcast, Andrea Ritchie joins Rania Khalek and Kevin Gosztola for a conversation about organizing for abortion decriminalization in a post-Roe United States.”

“【Exordium】For many Black women, the reversal of Roe v. Wade last month not only stripped them of bodily autonomy, but created another barrier to economic security and choosing the course of their future.｜For 49 years, women have had the right to terminate a pregnancy without needing to justify it, giving some a chance to pursue their educational goals, career aspirations and start families when they were in stable situations.｜This has especially benefited Black women who continue to fight for an equal place in the US.”

“【Caption】How White female police officers historically targeted abortion providers.”／【引用】The Supreme Court majority decision to overturn Roe v. Wade has certified a new era of “uterus surveillance,” in the words of Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.). Justice Clarence Thomas has suggested that the decision in Dobbs could lead to reviews of other landmark rights for marginalized groups, including contraception and same-sex relationships. The state’s expansive and expanding surveillance apparatus will ensnare ever more in the absence of robust constitutional protections.

“【Caption】Everyday reproductive care is a skill that fewer and fewer US physicians now possess”

“【Exordium】While repealing Roe v. Wade was in the anti-abortion Right’s playbook, for decades attempts to restrict abortion didn’t target Roe directly: instead, they targeted access in a sideways fashion, through means such as mandatory waiting periods and parental consent laws. The surface logic of parental consent laws is similar to the logic barring childhood transition: abortion is a serious, irreversible medical procedure for which youth under 18 are too young to give informed consent. Like opponents of transition, anti-abortion ideologues emphasize hypothetical damage to fertility and the possibility of regret.”

“【Exordium】“It is about 5:30 in Alabama on the first morning of there being no legal abortion when our clinic should be open. And it’s probably not an exaggeration to say that this is the point where I broke,” said Robin Marty, Director of Operations at the West Alabama Women’s Center. In this episode of “Movement Memos,” host Kelly Hayes talks with Marty, as well as Rafa Kidvai, the director of If/When/How’s Repro Legal Defense Fund, and Ash Williams, who is an organizer and abortion doula in Asheville, North Carolina, about what happens next and what we can do about it.”

“【引用】For all women in the United States, the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade will reverse half a century of progress in women’s healthcare.｜For Black women, this decision represents something even more sinister. For us, losing access to legal abortion could spell the difference between life and death.”

“【Introduction】The Supreme Court overturned the federal right to an abortion on June 24, 2022, effectively blocking abortion access in roughly half the states where there are laws―already on the books or proposed―to end the practice. This move sets back a half century of progress for reproductive justice, body autonomy, and possibly puts even the right to privacy in jeopardy. Because these issues are at the very heart of the transgender community, Team TransLash will continue to update this guide with details of the outcome.”

“【Exordium】I DON’T TALK MUCH about my abortions. When I had my first, I was relatively young, and I did not tell my mother. When I had my second, I was older, and for a while, I did not tell my partner. I told only friends, on an as-needed basis: the one who went with me to the clinic, the one who subbed my class. I didn’t “shout my abortion” or post about it on social media or write a personal essay. My favorite literary magazine was selling tote bags that read “I Had an Abortion,” but I didn’t purchase one.”

“【Caption】The Brazilian case shows what happens when reproductive rights are treated as a last resort rather than a public good.”

“【Caption】Millions of women are now less free than men, in the functioning of their own bodies and in the paths of their own lives”

“【Exordium】All the supreme court knew of ‘Jane Roe’ was that she lived in Dallas County, Texas under another name and that she ‘wished to terminate her pregnancy by an abortion performed by a competent, licensed physician, under safe, clinical conditions’. In a notarised statement filed with the court in May 1970, Roe affirmed that she was over 21 and unmarried. She wanted an abortion because of the ‘economic hardship which pregnancy entailed’ and also to avoid the ‘social stigma attached to the bearing of illegitimate children’.”

“【Caption】Publicly taking and distributing abortion pills will play a part in securing and deepening reproductive rights, just as defiance of abortion and contraception bans did in the 1960s and ‘70s.”

“【Exordium】The first alarm bell went off in Ashley’s head when no one at the Prestonwood Pregnancy Center was wearing a mask. No one was in scrubs, no one’s hair was tied up, and every staffer was wearing a visible cross. “I should have noticed all the red flags,” says Ashley, 28, whom TIME is identifying by her first name to protect her privacy. But it wasn’t until she sat down for a mandated counseling session in the brick building in a Dallas suburb that she realized what kind of a facility it was.”

“【Caption】The goal of a movement for Reproductive Justice is for women to regain power over their reproductive fate in spite of their race, gender, and class｜"the three pillars of reproductive justice are: the right to an abortion; the right to carry children; and the right to raise children in a safe and healthy environment" -SisterSong”

“Chelsea Becker, prosecuted for murder after her stillbirth, spent 16 months in jail: ‘Why did the hospital call police?’”

“【Caption】“The people who want to harm, subjugate and destroy us have not been deterred by warnings that their political vision is too radical, or even impossible. We cannot afford to restrict our own aspirations in the face of such enemies,” says Kelly Hayes. In this episode of “Movement Memos,” host Kelly Hayes talks with author Shane Burley discuss the connection between attacks on abortion rights and the barrage of anti-trans laws that have passed in recent months.”

“The horizon of free anthrogenesis calls us to consciously manufacture life in particular, which is to say, making and caring for some bodies while consciously unmaking others by withdrawing care. Let us learn to celebrate, without recourse to healthcare, necessity, or special pleading, the beauty and power of a gestator’s ‘no’. Antiwork anthrogenesis deromanticises care and denaturalises the human by practising solidarity: vindicating withdrawals of gestational labour-power for any reason and none.”

“【Exordium】We are at a turning point in the struggle to defend abortion rights. The leak of the Supreme Court’s draft ruling threatens to overturn Roe v. Wade. If and when it is enacted, nearly half the states in the US are poised to criminalize abortion. This ruling is an attack on much more than abortion rights; its logic opens the door to attacks on contraception, gay marriage, trans rights, and many other reforms won by oppressed people in our society.”

“【Caption】Before Roe v. Wade, women set up referral networks to help each other access abortions. One referral coordinator was Carol Giardina, who connected her college classmates to safe abortion providers even though it was illegal. The time for such bravery has come again.”

“【引用】We can and should take inspiration from their struggles. In Ireland, in Argentina, in Poland, and Chile, the abortion struggle has been fought on the streets, through direct action and unapologetic claiming of abortion as an inalienable right ― not by electing politicians who will defend “the right to choose.” It is this militant action that we will need in the United States if we want to win.”

“【Caption】The following is a statement and analysis written and endorsed by Locals and at large members of the Black Rose / Rosa Negra Anarchist Federation.”

““[Abortion access] increased the chances that women attended college, finished college, entered professional and managerial occupations, maintained an attachment to the labor force, raised their earnings. And it reduced the chances that they, and the children that they ultimately had, lived in poverty,” says economics professor Caitlin Knowles Meyer.”

“【Caption】A leader of Argentina’s Ni Una Menos movement on how to fight back”／“【Exordium】When news leaked of the possible overturning of Roe v Wade, tweets and commentaries began circulating calling for people in the United States to learn from experiences in Argentina, Mexico, and Colombia ― countries that have recently managed to decriminalize abortion ― or from Chile, where it is included in the new constitutional project. This call is interesting because it reveals a new and powerful force rising from Latin America, where the right to abortion was won by a mass feminist movement in the streets.”

“【Caption】The right’s attacks on grassroots groups have already begun.”

“【Caption】Overturning Roe v Wade is another terrifying reminder that the ruling class is waging a war on our bodily, social and economic freedoms.”

“【Caption】The end of Roe v. Wade will accelerate an existing effort to criminally punish people for their abortions, stillbirths, and miscarriages.”

“【Caption】Commemorating missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls also means upholding our sovereignty”

“【Caption】The relentless right and feckless Democrats brought us here. Now, preserving access to abortion will require breaking some laws.”

“【Caption】Communities across the country have already been preparing for the end of Roe.”

“And we should defend abortion access not only in cases of sexual violence. All those who want an abortion should be able to avail themselves of that medical procedure. Their reasons are no one’s business. People should not have to demonstrate their virtue to justify a personal decision about how to handle a life-altering circumstance.”

“【Caption】Argentina, Colombia and Mexico have recently legalised or decriminalised abortion. Could Chile be next? And what’s behind the wave of progress?”

“【Exordium】On April 7, 2022, Lizelle Herrera, a 26-year-old mother of two, was arrested and charged with murder in Rio Grande City, Texas for having a miscarriage. Why?”

“【Caption】As liberation movements bloomed, they offered a vision of reproductive justice that was about equality, not just “choice.””
