Margaret Kimberley · Anti-Abortion Forces Would Impose Slavery-like Controls on Black Women’s Bodies

Black women’s bodies were property during slavery, and that power relationship “still continues today through measures to restrict women’s reproductive autonomy,” said Jill Morrison, author of a recent article titled, "Resuscitating the Black Body: Reproductive Justice as Resistance to the State’s Property Interest in Black Women’s Reproductive Capacity." Morrison is director of the Women’s Law and Public Policy Fellowship at Georgetown University.
