The fight for abortion is central to the feminist struggle. The right to abortion
and the fight for the reappropriation of one's body are prerequisites foremancipation. As part of its federal campaign for a March 8, 2022 of struggles,the Libertarian Communist Union produced five thematic videos on anti-patriarchalstruggles published on social networks during the months of February and March2022. Excerpt. ---- Patriarchy is the material and economic exploitation ofwomen, who do the bulk of all the work on the planet and receive little incomefrom it, 70% of the poor are women and they receive 35% labor income.But it is also the appropriation of their bodies, by violence of course, and bythe limitation of the rights linked to their wombs. If the deadline for anabortion in the United Kingdom is 24 weeks, 22 in the Netherlands and 14 inSpain, it is still only 12 weeks in France. The increase to fourteen weeks is upfor debate, and reactionary doctors and politicians are storming in bad faith.A later abortion would be dangerous for women, but who believes that it is thisconcern that guides them ? A later abortion would be more painful forabortionists, even if those concerned deny it, going from twelve to fourteenweeks does not change much in the technical gestures to be made. Behind theserefusals, there is the idea that women are not really responsible beings, andthat if they are authorized (by men, by what right?) to abort at eight and a halfmonths, they will do so.Still a current fightBut no woman wants to prolong a pregnancy she does not want, the only need is tohave time to realize, to take the steps and to abort calmly. And even so.Shouldn't the legislator rather concern himself with repressing those of hiscongeners who spill their sperm without a condom or a vasectomy ? With the riseof the far right, in Europe as in France, women's rights are once again underthreat. The arrival as President of the European Parliament of Maltese RobertaMetsola, a conservative and anti-abortion MEP, is worrying news and confirms atrend of attacks on the whole planet of the right to abortion.Abortion is an indispensable and transformative freedom for women. This is themost obvious moment when a woman chooses herself above anything else. Women aredesirous beings when they have an abortion, because it is a desire forthemselves. This is why the fight for abortion is central to the emancipation of all.The UCL Anti-Patriarchy CommissionVideo:8 MARCH UCL #1 - Going on strike8 MARCH UCL #2 - At home, exploited8 MARCH UCL #3 - Exploited at work8 MARCH UCL #4 - My body, my choicehttps://www.unioncommunistelibertaire.org/?Video-mon-corps-mon-choix-mon-poing_________________________________________A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C EBy, For, and About AnarchistsSend news reports to A-infos-en mailing listA-infos-en@ainfos.ca
