A Radical Reorientation for U.S. Abortion Rights

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

We are witnessing a break with traditions of mainstream abortion policy advocacy, and the birth of a new politics in the refusal of people to accept the tired terms of the abortion debates and to collectively create what courts and legislatures refuse them. For people to act as though the law was otherwise and to create for themselves a place within it, for people to act as though they were already free and loved, shows us an entirely different path to abortion rights.
