60% of people will have a disability — either temporary or permanent — in their lifetime.  In 2023, more than 1 in 4 people—27% — in the US have a disability. Reproductive Justice and Disability Justice are the same fight, both prioritizing the right to bodily autonomy and self-determination; the right to raise children—if one chooses to have them—with dignity and in a safe environment; the right to access the health care one needs, free from political interference or stigmatization.

DISABILITY RIGHTS AND REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS. A CONNECTED FIGHT

This week on The Verso Podcast, Sian Norris and Edna Bonhomme delve into the tactics and goals of fascist ideologies across the globe. They explore how far right movements organise themselves transnationally with the aim of exerting control over individuals' bodies, rooted in a fundamental suspicion of women and their autonomy.

Bodies Under Siege | Sian Norris & Edna Bonhomme

There is a form of domestic violence that has increased since the Dobbs Decision. It is reproductive coercion. What we're talking about  are intimate partner behaviors that interfere with decision-making related to reproductive health meant to maintain power and control. These coercive behaviors infringe on individuals' reproductive rights and reduce their reproductive autonomy. What I’m explicitly discussing is pregnancy coercion, birth control sabotage, and controlling the outcome of a pregnancy.

Reproductive Coercion

A special ballot initiative to have voters decide whether they will require 60% of voters to pass a new constitutional amendment, instead of a simple majority of 50% plus one which has held for decades. This is specifically designed to avoid what anti-abortionists fear — that a constitutional amendment that is on the November ballot to enshrine abortion in Ohio never reaches the 60% needed. We know right now that 58% of Ohio — all stripes of people — agree with the November ballot measure. IF you live in Ohio. Or knows someone who does. Vote on Tuesday the 8th. If you vote NO then the likelihood of enshrining abortion into the Ohio constitution is very high.

They're Sneaky In Ohio!

On today's episode I'm solo and reviewing the status of abortion rights in the United States state by state.

1.8 BILLION people world-wide menstruate EVERY MONTH. Why are so many living in period poverty?
There is momentum in the effort for “menstrual equality”. Having tampons or sanitary napkins in all bathrooms does not, however, ensure equality. Yes, it helps guarantee accessibility, challenges outdated stigmas, and acceptance, but does not ensure product availability if there is a cost to these products that many can’t afford.

Let's Talk About Periods

Sex work exists in every country in the world. Wherever there are humans there are sex workers. This has been true for as long as humans have existed.

In countries where elective abortion is illegal, the prevalence of at least one induced abortion was >35%. Multiple induced abortion prevalence was > 23%. 
In countries where elective abortion is legal, one induced abortion prevalence was >44%, and multiple induced abortion prevalence was almost 20%.

Sex Workers  And Abortion

The Iowa Caucus was a rampant display of racism, misogyny, homophobia, and the inevitable Anti-Semitism (against both Jews and Arabs). Out there, in plain site.
There are single issues in the upcoming election:  body autonomy vs. forced pregnancy; democracy vs. autocracy; individual rights vs. dictatorship; equality for all vs. rights for white Christian people (primarily men); multiple genders vs. only two genders (one of which has less rights); free and fair elections; fair representation in government and the judicial system. Make a plan to VOTE.

Who Uses IVF?
