Today Sara Matthiesen elucidates the demands and visions of pre-Roe abortion activists, asking: 'what if these visions, yet to be disciplined by Roe, could serve as touchstones in our post-Roe present...?' Up in the #AbortionNowAbortionForever Contemporaries @ Post45!

Sara Matthiesen reads actions by the Young Lords Party & the Janes as 'stories of how different feminists envisioned abortion freedom before Roe.' These actions take place outside the hospital & offer frameworks for how to be an accomplice in today's #AbortionNowAbortionForever

It's day 13 of the #AbortionNowAbortionForever cluster release. Today we've published a wonderfully illuminating piece by Sara Matthiesen who looks at abortion activism leading up to Roe v Wade, asking us to consider: 'What kind of accomplice will you be?'
