Healthcare, including reproductive healthcare, was never promised by the founding fathers. Sure, they suggested that we all deserve \u201clife, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.\u201d But the devil is in the details: The colonizers who made that promise in 1776 would go on to commit horrific atrocities and cruel acts of violence and genocide against Native Americans and enslaved Africans over the next century. The only \u201clife\u201d they were referencing in the preamble to the Declaration of Independence was their own.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/atlaslivingmedia.com\/?p=462\">How America Became the Progenitor of Environmentalism<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For thousands of years before those colonizers set foot on what would become the contiguous United States, people here and around the world used medicinal herbs and plants such as bear root and juniper to stop or prevent pregnancies. As Renee Bracey Sherman, my coauthor on the book <em>Liberating Abortion<\/em>, points out, the earth provided them with what they needed to control their reproduction. We found while conducting research for our book that people did not consider these terminations to be abortions as we think of them today, but rather a process for \u201crestoring the menses.\u201d The misogynistic argument that an embryo or fetus had a \u201cright to life\u201d\u2014an idea that is not unlike the European colonists\u2019 belief that they had a right to steal land that wasn\u2019t theirs\u2014was nonexistent.<\/p>\n<p>But these abortion practices are also not as ancient as they may sound. In the 19th century, Indigenous people in what is now southern Montana used medicinal plants like calamus and horsetail to end undesirable pregnancies\u2014for example, during brutal winters when it was too cumbersome to carry a pregnancy, or when the woman was ill. Enslaved Black women throughout the South notoriously chewed cotton-root bark to end or prevent pregnancies and experience some modicum of dignity in the atrocious system of chattel slavery and forced reproduction. Abortion has been a part of US history for as long as women have been.<\/p>\n<div>\n<h4>250 Years of Searching for a More Perfect Union<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h5>How to Win the Next 250 Years for the Working Class<\/h5>\n<p><span><br \/>\nSara Nelson <\/span>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5>Arab Americans Have Always Been Here<\/h5>\n<p><span><br \/>\nJames Zogby <\/span>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5>Alexander Hamilton, the Wrong Founder<\/h5>\n<p><span><br \/>\nWilliam Hogeland <\/span>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>There are two founding fathers who seemed to understand this need\u2014that abortion was essential to the exercise of our unalienable rights. Benjamin Franklin, the US Postal Service\u2019s first leader, included an abortion recipe in <em>The American Instructor<\/em>, his 1748 reprint of a popular British textbook that offered guidance on basic tasks and subjects, including arithmetic and writing. In 1792, when Thomas Jefferson\u2019s daughter Martha gave her cousin Nancy gum of guaiacum \u201cto produce an abortion\u201d\u2014because Nancy had been impregnated by her sister\u2019s husband\u2014and had to testify in court about her involvement, Jefferson wrote in a letter to his daughter, \u201cI see guilt but in one person, and not in her.\u201d He added that his abortion-providing daughter was \u201con firm ground\u201d and that he should \u201cbe made very happy if you are the instrument not only of supporting the spirits of your afflicted friend under the weight bearing on them, but of preserving her in the peace and love of her friends.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the thing about abortion: It is always necessary, whether it\u2019s because the pregnant person needs one or because they want one. But care has never been guaranteed in America, not even under <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em>, despite being essential to a functioning democracy and gender equality.<\/p>\n<p>The effort to control who could have or provide abortions began in earnest in the mid-1800s, when the American Medical Association  against them, led by the anti-immigrant zealot Horatio Storer, that promoted the notion that \u201cthe child is alive from the moment of conception,\u201d and when the Catholic Church shifted its stance from tolerating abortions prior to \u201cquickening\u201d\u2014when the pregnant person feels fetal movement\u2014to condemning them. The resulting tug-of-war culminated in the US Supreme Court ruling in favor of a national right to abortion in the landmark 1973 <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em> decision. But anti-abortion lawmakers immediately started to chip away at that right: The same year that <em>Roe<\/em> was decided, South Carolina Senator Jesse Helms introduced an amendment to ban federal foreign aid from being used to pay for abortions elsewhere in the world, and congresspeople\u2014including Illinois Representative Henry Hyde\u2014began floating a proposal to bar federally funded insurance programs from covering abortions in the US, as Amy Littlefield reports in her book <em>Killers of Roe<\/em>. In 1977, these anti-abortion lawmakers got their wish, and the Hyde Amendment went into effect. Soon thereafter, Littlefield writes, the pro-choice movement pivoted away from demanding that Medicaid cover abortions to focus instead on general threats to access. They relied on the courts to protect nationwide access\u2014a strategy that failed them.<\/p>\n<p>After the Supreme Court ended the constitutional right to abortion with its 2022 <em>Dobbs v. Jackson Women\u2019s Health Organization<\/em> decision, and more than a dozen states moved to enact total abortion bans, many political observers argued that the complacency of the broader base of abortion-rights supporters played a major role in how we arrived at our current crisis. The challenge for movement leaders has been to keep the public engaged on this issue, particularly as news coverage has dried up.<\/p>\n<p>Further, as Molly Murphy, president of the polling firm Impact Research, who studies public opinion on a range of issues affecting families, explained recently, people in the political center tend to think that the post-<em>Dobbs<\/em> laws work well enough, with some exceptions, such as Texas\u2019s more prohibitive laws (if they are aware of the state laws at all). These voters tend to believe that what happened to the women who have suffered under abortion bans won\u2019t happen to them. \u201cThey might worry that things are going to happen,\u201d Murphy said at a gathering of abortion storytellers and advocates in March, \u201cbut telling people that something bad might happen in the future is really hard to persuade people on,\u201d as opposed to talking to them about current realities. This is how we end up with a situation in which 38 percent of the voters who supported Donald Trump\u2014protector of women \u201cwhether the women like it or not\u201d\u2014in the 2024 election also believe in the right to abortion.<\/p>\n<p>Giving people access to hear or read stories about how state restrictions effectively amount to a total ban is crucial, Murphy told me. \u201cPeople really don\u2019t like bans, and then there\u2019s a whole lot of gray area in between on the number of weeks or the circumstances or where or whether there are exemptions. I think that hearing from people that they are in fact having their rights banned\u2014even if, on paper, what people would say is \u2018Oh, it\u2019s 12 weeks, that\u2019s very reasonable,\u2019 or whatever\u2014[is why] storytelling matters a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/atlaslivingmedia.com\/?p=460\">January 12, 1991: Congress Votes to Send Troops to Expel Iraq From Kuwait<\/a><\/p>\n<p>But it is less clear to me whether stories can disarm one of the worst of America\u2019s founding principles, American exceptionalism\u2014especially when the stories may reinforce, for some listeners, narratives that they\u2019ve been told about how the pregnant person, and not the system, is responsible for the suffering that they were forced to endure.<\/p>\n<p>For 250 years, America has failed to treat women as though they were equal to men. If we were truly considered as such, abortion would be as easy to access as ibuprofen, because it\u2019s just that common and essential to our ability\u2014as well as the ability of trans and gender-nonconforming people who need abortions\u2014to participate fully in society and our democracy. Instead, America has weaponized abortion access, setting limits around when we can exercise our reproductive rights. It\u2019s a system in which those who can find a way to get their abortions will get them, and everyone else must make do, no matter what \u201cmaking do\u201d actually means. And because some people have succeeded at getting care, we can, as a country, excuse this system for not working for everyone. That\u2019s just how it\u2019s always been.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe do, as a country, rally around self-reliance, and I think that\u2019s a big part of it,\u201d Murphy said when I asked her why it sometimes feels like our stories are not enough to successfully address issues like abortion access and the maternal healthcare crisis as the structural problems that they are. \u201cWhen it comes to women having kids, we beatify mothers and say, \u2018You\u2019re so amazing and self-sacrificing\u2019 and all of these things, and it allows society to not then try to support them.\u201d This belief system is also rooted in anti-Black racism, because not all people are seen as deserving of support.<\/p>\n<p>We have known for decades that abortion bans kill people, especially women of color. In 1977, a young woman in McAllen, Texas, named Rosie Jim\u00e9nez was the first person confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to have died as a direct result of the Hyde Amendment. Her two previous abortions were covered under Medicaid, but Rosie became pregnant again one month after the amendment went into effect in her state. When her provider denied her care, the 27-year-old mother of a 4-year-old sought an illegal abortion and died from septic shock after a botched procedure, leaving behind a $700 financial-aid check that she had planned to use to further her education and build a better life than the one her parents, migrant farmworkers, could give her. After Rosie died, national reproductive-rights organizations initially organized against Hyde, as Littlefield\u2019s <em>Killers of Roe<\/em> details, calling the amendment a blatant attack on the poor. (If Rosie had been in a different income bracket, she might have been able, as some women do, to travel out of state for her procedure.) Yet not only has the Hyde Amendment continued to reign, but anti-abortion lawmakers have gotten even more creative in their efforts to ban abortion and gender-affirming care through government insurance programs.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, people and their families continue to suffer. In the summer of 2022, Amber Nicole Thurman sought an abortion because, much like Rosie, she understood that she couldn\u2019t handle another child, let alone twins, while she attended nursing school. After her medication abortion, which Amber had to get out of state because of the near-total ban on abortion in her home state of Georgia, the 28-year-old mother of a 6-year-old son suffered a rare complication\u2014but the hospital providers near her home delayed the routine abortion procedure she needed to clear her uterus of tissue that had remained in her body after she took the medication. By the time they did perform the procedure, it was too late: Amber died after developing sepsis.<\/p>\n<p>Amber\u2019s mother, Shanette Williams, has been speaking out about her daughter\u2019s unjust death ever since the 2024 presidential race, and today she is fighting alongside Democratic leaders to build support in Georgia for the Reproductive Freedom Act, which would restore and expand reproductive rights in the state, including protecting access to abortion care.<\/p>\n<p>I first heard Williams share her story in Austin, Texas, in early 2025. Her family had learned that Amber\u2019s death was preventable only after an investigation by <em>ProPublica<\/em>. When I caught up with Williams at the storytelling convening in March, I could sense her frustration about the moment we are living through. She told me that when she visits her daughter\u2019s grave site, \u201cIt\u2019s upsetting to me that I can\u2019t tell her anything different, that I can\u2019t tell her we have a win\u2026. My baby is in the grave,\u201d she added, \u201cand while we\u2019re smiling, on the inside I am saying, \u2018What am I smiling for? I\u2019m not happy\u2014I\u2019m not happy about what I see.\u2019\u201d Still, she continues to fight for justice for her daughter, speaking out against Georgia\u2019s extreme abortion ban. \u201cEvery time I\u2019m at that grave, I hear my baby tell me, \u2018Don\u2019t stop, don\u2019t quit, keep going,\u2019\u201d Williams said.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a message that all of us should heed. Sharing and amplifying such stories is an important step. But even more, we need to rebuild the healthcare system so that it never again allows care for some at the expense of care for others. Because until we can treat women\u2014Black women, trans people, young people\u2014and everyone in our society who has been denied equal rights as deserving of \u201clife, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,\u201d none of us will ever be truly free.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/atlaslivingmedia.com\/?p=458\">Saving the Scarlet Macaw in Narco Country<\/a><\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nation Magazine<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":463,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-464","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-feature"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
