In this strange and terrible election year, the politics of abortion and the Supreme Roe also invites us to move beyond “choice” and “pro-life” politics to go deeper Court are once again at the top of many people’s minds following the death of and consider what some activists, Black feminists prominent among them, call a Supreme Court Justice and feminist jurist Ruth Bader Ginsberg. The pandemic that reproductive justice approach, which invites us to consider what it would take for all has taken more than 200,000 lives in the U.S. over the past eight months has also people to exercise the human right to have the children we want under the conditions given us some jarring juxtapositions, as some of the same people who have argued we choose and that would enable them the opportunity to thrive—and by extension, most fervently for government intervention over pregnancy decisions by banning to not have children when we do not want.

McCorvey was abused as a compel people to wear masks to protect the public health.

She was raped and felt she had to pregnancies harmful to their health or well-being. In addition, the question of marry her rapist, though she eventually left him after continued domestic violence. reproductive autonomy—the freedom from state interference in decisions to have as She struggled with depression and drug and alcohol abuse. Her mother, McCorvey well as not have children—has also been brought to the fore by a whistleblower’s said, tricked her into relinquishing her first child, Melissa, and stringently limited her report that a number of women in ICE custody in the Irwin County Detention Center access to seeing her daughter. McCorvey subsequently placed two more babies in Georgia may have been sterilized without their consent. in adoptions, including after the pregnancy that led to Roe v. Wade. McCorvey described herself as a lesbian, at least until her religious conversion, when she This play invites us to reconsider the question of abortion from the perspective of one began describing her relationship with her long-term partner, Connie Gonzalez, as pivotal woman’s life. Norma McCorvey was “Jane Roe,” the plaintiff in the famous non-sexual. Throughout her life, she worked a string of low-wage jobs. Supreme Court case litigated by Linda Coffee and Sarah Weddington, two young feminist lawyers barely out of law school. Fundamentally, they sought to raise the What would reproductive justice look like in Norma McCorvey’s life? What would question of whether women have rights to be more than a mother. In 1973, the Roe have had to happen for her to raise the child she wanted? Access to drug and v.

A world without have an abortion without excessive government restriction, and struck down laws the homophobia that sent her to juvie and then denied her and Connie the ability banning abortion around the country. McCorvey was for a while claimed as a hero to raise Melissa, a loss that may have been part of why she got pregnant again of the pro-choice movement—somewhat ambivalently, in truth. She then switched and again. Maybe an end to putting children in juvenile detention altogether. An sides after a very public religious conversion to become an anti-abortion activist end to rape, sexual abuse, and domestic violence. Better wages for McCorvey and later in life. Lisa Loomer’s script for Roe attends to both halves of McCorvey’s life, all those who were her family. Secure housing. We can all extend this list—and, hopefully opening up the space for a different, more thoughtful conversation about perhaps, our imagination of a just world where children and their mothers, kin, and the question of what is at stake in the politics of abortion. Is it about the right of caretakers can thrive, and no one has to bear children they don’t want. If this play women to engage in sexual relationships on the same footing as men and without can help us think in these directions, it has done its work. a duty of childbirth, especially at times when they lack the wherewithal to do so? Or is it about treasuring babies and children even when we think we don’t have the emotional or material resources to welcome them? Is abortion about women’s (and some nonbinary and trans people’s) fundamental bodily integrity being abridged by the government, or the state acknowledging its responsibility to protect its smallest potential citizens?
