Welcome to the Advo.kit! Thanks so much for picking up the kit — we hope that you find it to be a helpful resource! Why the Advo.kit? The Advo.kit is geared toward student and/or young activists in the U.S. who seek to ad- vance abortion rights as part of a broad range of reproductive justice issues. It includes background information on unsafe abortion in the U.S. and around the globe, the im- pact of restrictive sexual and reproductive health policies on the lives of women and girls and tips and tools for activists. We feel these materials will give students and young activists the tools they need to: 1. Provide their peers with comprehensive information on sexual and reproductive health on campus and in the classroom 2. View abortion rights as part of a broad range of global issues, including HIV/AIDS, violence, race, gender, health care and economic and social justice 3. Mobilize and take action How do I use the kit? The Advo.kit is organized into three sections that will help you organize events and edu- cate others on the importance of reproductive justice and abortion rights: 1. Tips for organizing and activism 2. Activities 3. Background and resource documents The Advo.kit is designed so that activists can select the documents as they need and then use them in whichever order or combinations suit their individual needs and audiences. For example, you could use the Plan an Event Worksheet to get started, then use the Drawing the Connections activity in your event and copy the 10 Tips for Organizing document to hand out to your participants. There are dozens of combinations in which the documents could be used! Have fun! Why abortion and reproductive justice? Reproductive justice includes the right of all women to safe and voluntary contraception; to become pregnant, carry and bear children in a context free of violence and environ- mental toxins; and to affordable and nonjudgmental abortion services. Many women, however, do not have the option to protect themselves against an unwanted pregnancy, to continue an unintended but wanted pregnancy or to have a safe abortion. Despite Roe v. Wade’s significance, the “right” to abortion means little to those whose options are already restricted by race, gender, sexuality, age, ability or income. Traditionally, the issue of abortion has been isolated by the stigma attached to it. Nevertheless, abortion is a common part of the sexual and reproductive lives of most women, and its inclusion in the reproductive justice movement is essential in the pursuit of equality and justice.

We seek to expand the avail- ability, quality and sustainability of abortion and related reproductive health services, as well as to improve the enabling environment.

    Shilyh Warren Abortion, Abortion, Abortion, Still: Documentary Show and Tell Some of us are weary of the topic. Some of us are weary of ringing the alarm bells, of holding signs, of trying to keep clinics open, sidewalks clear, women informed. After several months of work- ing steadily on the subject of abortion in feminist documentary, while also living in Texas, I, too, am wearing down. But the fact remains: we are in the midst of an urgent political, legal, and cultural upheaval over abortion. Still. Since women placed abortion at the center of their concerns in the late 1960s, abortion has remained at the top of the feminist agenda. While many conceptual, social, and material links connect 1970s feminisms with the contem- porary landscape of feminist activism, abortion abides as one of the significant power struggles between women and systems of patriarchal and capitalist power and control. In the words of Ellen Willis (quoted in Nelson 2003: 3), a member of the New York–based radical feminist group Redstock- ings, demanding legal abortion in the late 1960s was about “asserting autonomy and subjecthood; it was about the right to have sex, play God, to bring life into the world. This freaked people out.” Histo- rians such as Wendy Kline (2010: 68) explain that abortion was initially “a touchstone” for women’s The South Atlantic Quarterly 114:4, October 2015 doi 10.1215/00382876-3157122 © 2015 Duke University Press Downloaded from http://read.dukeupress.edu/south-atlantic-quarterly/article-pdf/114/4/755/471396/ddsaq_114_4_05Warren_Fpp.pdf by guest on 01 October 2021 756 The South Atlantic Quarterly • October 2015 liberation and was taken up by feminist activists as “a collective problem for all women.” However, abortion has not been a coalition issue for women in the way second-wave feminist activists envisioned.

An HBO documentary in association with Loki Films. Delaware Ave. and 12th St. in Fort Pierce, Fla. is ground zero for the ferocious abortion rights battle raging in America.

Utilizing archive footage, home photos, and interviews with surviving family members as well as popular figures of the time, this movie also documents the atmosphere of the time period and captures a snapshot of the civil rights movement's beginnings. 500 Years Later 116 "Filmed in five continents, 500 Years Later is a critically acclaimed, multi-award-winning journey infused with the spirit and music of liberation.

    Abortion Law Reform in the United States by Latasha Ross

    SPRING 2020 UNDERGRADUATE LAW JOURNAL It’s My Choice, Right? Abortion Law Reform in the United States By LaTasha Ross “Reproductive freedom is critical to a whole range of issues. If we can’t take charge of this most personal aspect of our lives, we can’t take care of anything. It should not be seen as a privilege or as a benefit, but a fundamental human right.” ― Faye Wattleton1 Introduction Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy by removal or expulsion of an embryo or fetus before it can survive outside the uterus.2 The battles in law for or against abortions and reproductive rights have filtered in and out of the mainstream since the 1800s3 and is currently making a return to the spotlight once again. The rights of the woman and unborn child are constantly being debated. But who is right? Once again, the same questions are being asked: when is it okay to end a pregnancy, who has the right to make this decision, and in what situation is it acceptable? To truly understand the issue, we must review both sides of the argument and the preceding case history. History For a hundred years after the formation of the United States, abortions were legal. There was no law to govern the procedure. It was a choice of 1 Faye Wattleton Quotes, Women's History with Jone Johnson Lewis (2016), http://womenshistory.info/faye-wattleton-quotes/. 2 The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica, Abortion Encyclopædia Britannica (2019), https://www.britannica.com/science/abortion-pregnancy. 3 History of Abortion, National Abortion Federation, https://prochoice.org/education- and-advocacy/about-abortion/history-of-abortion/.
