Please post any resources that you have regarding Reproductive Freedom here.
The May meeting will focus on the topic and I'd love to do some reading of relevance before then. :-)

To get started with some writings referencing pre-Roe v. Wade conditions:

A Defense of Abortion
Judith Jarvis Thompson

This is the classic ethical argument for abortion, written in 1971 by an academic philosopher.

The Story of Jane
Laura Kaplan

This is about a feminist group in Chicago that organized to provide women with safe, ILLEGAL abortions, need-based funding, and counseling.

The Girls That Went Away
Ann Fessler

This is about the experiences of US women who got pregnant pre-Roe and were forced by various social pressures to hide it and give their children up for adoption.
