“【Content Information】The expanding surveillance and criminalization of mutual aid, self-managed care, and bodily autonomy, and the growing attempts to criminalize pregnant people, parents, and health care providers have far-reaching ramifications beyond abortion criminalization that require us to join together to collectively resist!”

“【Content Information】In Ireland, 2018, a constitutional ban that equated the life of a woman to the life of a fertilised embryo was overturned and abortion was finally legalised. This victory for the Irish Repeal movement set the country alight with euphoria. But, for some, the celebrations were short-lived ― the new legislation turned out to be one of the most conservative in Europe. People still travel overseas for abortions and services are not yet fully commissioned in Northern Ireland.｜This book traces the history of the origins of the Eighth Amendment, which was drawn up in fear of a tide of liberal reforms across Europe. It draws out the lessons learned from the groundbreaking campaign in 2018, which was the culmination of a 35-year-long reproductive rights movement and an inspiring example of modern grassroots activism. It tells the story of the 'Repeal' campaign through the lens of the activists who are still fighting in a movement that is only just beginning.”

“【Quot.】The struggle for reproductive justice in communities of color such as the RGV has been deeply interwoven with issues of racial justice, LGBTQ+ rights and the fight for body autonomy and body self-determination. In many communities, exclusion from quality, inclusive and dignified healthcare is deeply connected to issues of reproductive justice. The material fight for healthcare access matters for everyone, but for our community, the fight for healthcare, and for particular types of healthcare, is the fight for survival. The RGV, like many other places in the United States, has always had a thriving grassroots tradition which has developed through struggles for the right to one’s own body and a dignified life.”

“【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.”

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

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

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

“【Caption】As Argentina's upper house prepares for its historic vote on abortion rights, Verónica Gago, our leading theorist of the Feminist International, discusses how the struggle around abortion has opened up the central question of 'political decision' for those typically excluded from politics.”
