Who won with Roe v Wade, really? Has it been ‘won’ at all?  For some the struggle continues for access to clinics, while others outside the mainstream reproductive rights movement were left out of the conversation all together.

The law stemming from the famous Supreme Court case wasn’t actually written to protect choice — or the people who choose to end their pregnancies. Instead, Roe v Wade was designed to protect the right to privacy when receiving an abortion, and to legally shield doctors whose choice it was to perform them or not. As distrust, mistreatment, and discrimination by too many doctors, clinics, and insurance companies continues, and as state restrictions on abortion grow, it certainly seems that Roe v Wade may not have gone far enough.

Following an overview of historical and contemporary legislation around abortion, we will discuss the clinical limitations of care, the short comings of the birth control and reproductive rights movement as a whole, and additional resources.
