Image 7: "Since then, the 'loins' of people who can become pregnant have been fiercely debated—as if the internal flesh of a person is a communal resource that needs regulation."

Image 6: “[Should our country] be filled by our own children or by those of aliens? This is a question our women must answer; upon their loins depends the future destiny of the nation.” - Dr. Horatio Storer, an OB-GYN who was a leader in the AMA anti-abortion campaign

Image 5: The American Medical Association (AMA) also argued against abortion because they wanted the medical profession to remain male-dominated—if women couldn’t have abortions, they had to stay at home to raise children.

Image 4: Abortion first became criminalized nationwide around 1880 partly out of fear that if white Protestant women (for whom legal abortion was most accessible) continued having abortions, America would fill up with “aliens.”

Image 3: A shift occurred when settlers invaded the continent, but because the legality of abortion in each of the colonies depended on the stance of the European country which controlled it, it wasn’t widespread. People could still have legal abortions up until the 'quickening.'

Image 2: "In recent history, control over one’s own body and fertility (including abortion) was broadly normal and not only for 'Indigenous people, but every person who could become pregnant, that was part of life,' Lorenzo points out."

Image 1: "It’s easy to forget, or perhaps many haven't learned, that less than 150 years ago, the now polarizing hot-button issue of abortion was a widely accepted part of life in this country. In fact abortion 'is absolutely traditional, it is sacred,' says Rachel Lorenzo."
