“The assemblies also had as a starting point that abortion was a demand that needed to be raised, without fail, just as they demanded an end to repression, discrimination, and the external debt. ”
“One of the reasons the Right has been so successful in mobilizing their base around abortion rights is that they've recognized abortion as inherently political and recognized its centrality to the sociopolitical agenda they're trying to actualize.
