Wow. You've basically given a syllabus for an entire class. Yeah, COVID was the end of my confidence in the pro-life movement, although I hold a (nuanced) pro-life position. Will definitely read all those. This is why I said your twitter is like scholarly one-stop shopping! Might check out Gloege's book as well.
You have an exceptional ability to segment & break down complex issues like abortion-prolife-prochoice-feminism-patriarchy (I know these are not all named in the post, but they are there.) And all the while you weave/integrate these issues together into the focal topic of abortion in this post. Scholar extraordinaire. Prophet-Historian. Thanks.
Well, that was humbling. As if I did not think this topic complex already, having been on both “sides” at various points in my life. I recognize how much I lean on my own experience and understanding and how little honest research I have done. I wish the required reading lists did not end with graduation.
I teach at a state, two-year college. The week of the leaked decision was the feminism chapter in philosophy, and I felt I had no choice but to abandon my normal topics for a discussion of abortion. I am so encouraged by my students’ ability to understand all sides of this issue (even in a very conservative state). Thank you for adding great material to my list of resources.

10% on the far right, 10% on the far left, and a lot of nuance in between. Any court decisions or legal changes will have to debate the nuances.
