Crayon Box Politics: Deep Dive

Reproductive Rights Part 3

The Dobbs ruling was an immense blow to the pro-choice movement, and like the way that Roe invigorated the pro-life movement, injected new motivation to return to the argument about reproductive health.  Abortion is an issue based on societal morals, as such access is determined by the morals that a society has.  There is no way to find a solution to the argument in three episodes.  Instead, all that can be done is to examine both sides of the argument and put forth a proposition that will spur a conversation to bridge the divide in the hopes of finding common ground upon which the morals of both sides can be respected. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Reproductive Rights Part 2

In this second episode in our series on reproductive rights in America, we will examine the events leading to the case of Roe v. Wade. Through the examination of the events and the review of the ruling passed down by the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) we will be able to follow the direction that reproductive health progressed. We will review the arguments made by both the pro-life and pro-choice movements, assess the laws restricting reproductive health within the confines of the decision of Roe, and identify why those restrictions came to be. We will end with the events leading to the decision passed down by Dobbs v. Jackson. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

Reproductive Rights Part 1

The United States began as a nation with unregulated but legal abortions being practiced, and common. Midwives, not doctors, were responsible for women’s reproductive health. Women were trusted to make decisions about their bodies and male doctors focused on other areas of medicine. At the turn of the 20th century, the United States had become a nation that had criminalized abortion, placed male doctors as the experts in women’s reproductive health, causing women across the nation to seek dangerous, and often deadly abortions outside of the confines of the law. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
