On June 24, 2022, the US Supreme Court overturned the Roe v. Wade decision, asserting that the Constitution did not confer the right to abortion. This ruling, in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health case, was the culmination of a half-century of pro-life activism promoting the idea that fetuses are people and therefore entitled to the rights and protections that the Constitution guarantees. But it was also the product of a much longer history of archaic ideas about the relationship between pregnant people and the fetuses they carry.
In Policing Pregnant Bodies: From Ancient Greece to Post-Roe America, historian Kathleen M. Crowther discusses the deeply rooted medical and philosophical ideas that continue to reverberate in the politics of women’s health and reproductive autonomy. From the idea that a detectable heartbeat is a sign of moral personhood to why infant and maternal mortality rates in the United States have risen as abortion restrictions have gained strength, this is a historically informed discussion of the politics of women’s reproductive rights.
Crowther explains why pro-life concern for fetuses has led not just to laws restricting or banning abortion but also to delaying or denying treatment to women for miscarriages as well as police investigations of miscarriages. She details the failure to implement policies that would actually improve the quality of infant life, such as guaranteed access to medical care, healthy food, safe housing, and paid maternity leave. We must understand the historical roots of these archaic ideas in order to critically engage with the current legal and political debates involving fetal life.

You said it. It’s a woman’s choice. Denying it is nothing short of religious terrorism.

@mottai Always remember they’re fine with that.

American women who want abortions need only visit Mexico or Canada or any other civilized nation.

Ahh yes, the old, women are too stupid and irresponsible to not get themselves pregnant so they need to have the power to murder babies or it’s not democracy.
I’m pro murdering babies because anyone evil enough to do it shouldn’t have kids. But objectively any argument other than that is purely sexist garbage of women deserve to have the power of death because they’re women.
If a guy punching a pregnant woman causing a miscarriage is murder, so is the women intentionally aborting. It’s not Schrodinger’s baby, both property and a person. Damn Democrats really want human property, so desperate to get their slaves back. Disgusting monsters.

The worst part of this is the horde of extremists claiming to be “pro-life” when what they really mean is “pro-birth.” The very second that baby is born, it’s someone else’s problem, especially if the mother and newborn need financial or medical assistance, since the very same “pro-life” advocates continue to cut essential programs like providing health and financial resources when they are needed most, like SNAP, affordable housing, child-care, food banks, Medicaid and on.
Damn Republicans and their perversion of the term “entitlements” and any kind of assistance to the poorest among us. Disgusting thieves.
