Why Roe Matters

Ramie Wilson writes "imagine an America where a woman's right to reproductive choice is no longer protected by the Constitution. I thought about a country where abortion providers are forced to refuse women access to health care. I pictured the frightened faces of women -- especially women without economic means -- who are forced to rely on doctors who perform illegal abortions in often unsafe and unsanitary conditions."   She writes an informative article which puts the issue of "the right to choose to have an abortion" as a concrete justice issue,  article but it does not tackle the important work of reframing this right so that people can identify with it as a human justice issue.  I prefer "the right to be a Mother, without coercion or shame."
