Why support for abortion
belongs in your anti-racist practice
A Few Highlight Takeaways:
Anti-abortion lawmakers insist that abortion is a conspiracy against Black people.
In reality, the higher proportion of abortions within the Black community is due to disparities in healthcare access and quality, a rightful distrust of medical and family planning services, and other oppressions impacting the lives and health of Black people.
Abortion care is part of Black reproductive agency.
If the anti-abortion movement truly wanted to benefit the Black community, they would do more than call for the end of abortions.
