35 years of Roe v. Wade

Lots in the blogosphere about pro-choice, pro-life arguments.

Consider Jill Filipovic’s “10 Reasons to Support Reproductive Justice Today recommended reading.

I read parts of Susan Faludi’s Backlash: The Undeclared War Against American Women in high school. Looking at the history of the pro-life movement as a means to subjugate women seems more relevant today. The feminist movement has brought higher education to more woman, which in turn grants women more income and more purchasing power — both deemed threatening to a fair portion of the men in this country. Limiting a women’s access to contraceptives, abortion, and other family planning measures is a way to limit the potential of women from all walks of life, particularly those who can’t afford a back door to that access.
