Ayesha Roscoe: This episode discusses the shift in former President Trump's stance on abortion and the concerns this has raised among some anti-abortion groups, particularly those who advocate for the complete abolition of abortion, known as 'abortion abolitionists'.
T. Russell Hunter: A representative of the 'abortion abolitionists', he advocates for the complete abolition of abortion, rather than simply regulating it, and criticizes Trump's wavering stance on the issue.
Sarah McCammon: Provides a detailed explanation of 'abortion abolitionism', highlighting its differences from the traditional anti-abortion movement, particularly its opposition to in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and its stance equating abortion with murder. She also interviews abortion abolitionists in Texas and reports on their protests outside IVF clinics.
Will and Abby Dietrich: This couple are abortion abolitionists who believe that embryos have the same moral significance as babies, oppose the destruction of embryos in IVF, and attempt to persuade others to accept their views.
Christine Harhoff: Another abortion abolitionist, she believes that abortion is a sinful act that should be legally prohibited, and that those involved should be held criminally liable, including the death penalty. She also participated in protests outside IVF clinics.
Kathy Doody: An IVF clinic doctor, she describes the negative impact of abortion abolitionist protests on her patients and expresses her dissatisfaction with these actions.
Peggy Cooper Davis: A law professor, she argues that equating the anti-abortion movement with the abolitionist movement is inappropriate, as reproductive autonomy is a fundamental human right.
Zach Deacon: A Republican state representative who supports abortion abolitionism, he believes that elected officials should abide by God's will and oppose abortion.
The abortion abolitionist movement seeks a total ban on all abortions, without exceptions for rape, incest, or the life of the mother. They believe that an embryo is a human being with full rights and support charging anyone involved in an abortion with murder. This stance differs from traditional anti-abortion groups who typically don't advocate for punishing women who have abortions and sometimes support exceptions.
Abortion abolitionists want to ban all abortions with no exceptions.
They believe embryos deserve the same rights as humans, including the right to life.
They support charging anyone involved in an abortion with murder, including patients and doctors.
This position differs from mainstream anti-abortion groups who usually don't want to punish women who have abortions.
In the last few years, more than a dozen states have enacted laws that ban almost all abortions. Some include exceptions for rape, incest, and to protect the life of the mother. But a small, vocal group of anti-abortion activists say even these exceptions are morally wrong. They want to see a ban not only on all abortions but also on some fertility treatments, including IVF. They believe an embryo deserves the same rights as any human.On this episode of The Sunday Story from Up First, NPR's Sarah McCammon takes us to a protest outside an IVF clinic and talks to activists who call themselves "abortion abolitionists." These activists say their goal is to turn their beliefs into policy and are heartened by the progress they've made.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoices)NPR Privacy Policy)
