Jonathan Mitchell and anti-abortion leaders continue to show that the goal of the anti-abortion movement is not to stop abusers, but rather to stop abortion and limit reproductive freedoms more broadly – even if it means representing accused abusers.
Some leaders are pushing for their own alternative treatment: so-called “restorative reproductive medicine,” an alleged alternative to conventional fertility assistance, which rejects “methods that are inherently suppressive, circumventive, or destructive to natural human functions.”
As doulas reclaim and reshape their role in reproductive health, they challenge the limitations of the traditional medical model by centering empathy, support, and patient autonomy.
I stand firm in the truth that abortion and reproductive care is necessary and good. I am happy to stand behind my views. Is Lila willing to stand behind hers?
