In this episode, created in partnership with the National Women’s History Museum, Dr. Goodwin addresses reproductive health rights and justice from a historical point of view. In the wake of the overturn of Roe, the U.S. has seen horrific cases: a 10-year-old girl fleeing the state of Ohio to get to Indiana in order to terminate a pregnancy after rape; a Wisconsin woman bleeding for more than 10 days with an incomplete miscarriage before doctors could provide her the standard medical treatment; and so much more. The political situation that’s led to these cases becoming commonplace has deep roots in America’s history of slavery, reproductive restrictions, and controlling women’s bodies. So, how did America get here?
Dr. Goodwin is joined by several special guests to unpack the historical events that led us to the Dobbs v. Jackson decision, and examine how the Supreme Court failed in its analysis and recounting of America’s history around reproductive health, rights, and justice.
“But if we also remember that the history of gynecology is really tied up, again, with the right or the absence of Black women’s bodily autonomy, because so many of the experimentations that were carried on and that led to so many cesarean sections, for example, as well as all kinds of other kinds of surgical repairs of women’s wombs were done on African American women.” — Deborah White
“It’s really impossible to separate the story of the history of reproductive politics, reproductive justice, abortion politics from the history of slavery, of race, of controlling women’s bodies.” — Sarah Dubow
“They also began passing laws that were designed, in their words, to chip away at Roe. The idea would be that not only would abortion be inaccessible but the very idea of an abortion right would become kind of incoherent, so you’d say, oh yay, there’s an abortion right, but no one could actually have an abortion, and that would erode support in the judiciary as well…” — Mary Ziegler
