Welcome to series 3, episode 18 where we talking about the overturning of Roe vs. Wade by the US Supreme Court. We talk about how we got here, starting with the election of Donald Trump who was voted in overwhelmingly by White women. While the Democratic Party needs to clean their house, White women (us included) need to look at and accept the responsibility we carry because we have historically chosen not to have uncomfortable conversations with each other. We talk about the insidious stigma surrounding abortion and how there does not need to be sexual violence preceding an abortion in order to make it acceptable. We discuss the statistics behind who get abortions and how the intersection of heteropatriarchy, systemic racism and ableism meet and impact different groups of people who have marginalised within our social construct. We  must all change our mindset and our language when it comes to abortion to make sure we are viewing it as inclusively and intersectionally as possible. That means including trans men and non binary people into the definition of who needs access to abortion, that means appreciating that those at the intersection of heteropatriarchy, systemic racism and ableism are the voices that need to be loudest in this fight. This is not just a White woman’s fight and we need to start addressing it as such. We end by sharing abortion resources and funds to donate to and use.We used the following sources to inform this conversation:- The Paradox of Disability in Abortion Debates- Access, Autonomy & Dignity- Who is Most Affected by US Abortion Changes- Meta Pixel Tracking Tool Links to Anti-Abortion Clinics- Please check out our "Feminism 101" suggested reading list here if you're at a loose end for a great read from a Feminist author.- Find out more about the amazing artists, Nubefy, behind the graphics we use here.
