Jalessah Jackson and Debbie Billings discuss abortion, the recent assaults on bodily autonomy by the capitalist state, the struggle for reproductive justice domestically and abroad, and the state of maternal healthcare in the U.S.
Reproductive justice practitioner Jalessah Jackson and public health professional Debbie Billings join us to discuss the recent leak by SCOTUS, which showed they are prepared to overturn abortion rights in the U.S.
We put this decision by SCOTUS into the overall political context, discussing how it relates to other fascist assaults on TLGBQ rights, and is part of a larger fascist 'backlash.' We also discuss maternal health internationally, why a people-centered human rights framework is vital, and the power of mutual aid and other grassroots organizing in the face of state violence.
