'To keep in the foreground the right for all women to have access to abortion, we need to hear more stories about the majority of women who seek abortions like my mother.'
More public dialogue on women's access to abortion is needed until women's right to abortion is securely restored across the country. In Arizona, a law was passed last year making abortion legal up to 15 weeks, for now. I say"for now" because there are ongoing challenges and alternatives to this law in our Arizona state courts and in the formulation of legislation. These same forms of ongoing legal activity are reported for other states on an almost daily basis.
People are also reading… For many years my own most powerful image of women who got abortions was young unmarried college students. In college in the 1960s I had two friends who gave themselves illegal abortions with hangers. One was never able to become pregnant again. Then last year, when Roe v. Wade was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, my image of who gets abortions changed. Suddenly we were hearing about who gets abortions and the reasons for why they want one.
My mother was just one person in that large category of young mothers who want an abortion, now again in a political situation where it is illegal in many states. In other states, the law is unclear or unstable. The anti-abortion movement claims to be concerned about the well-being of both the fetus and the mother, but in reality, all of the concern in that movement goes to the fetus and none to the mother.
