Verso Books | A radical defence of abortion | Sophie Lewis @VersoBooks | Uploaded 5 years ago | Updated 7 hours ago
Sophie Lewis calls for a more radical response to abortion; recognising that it is a form of necessary violence.
We need to move away from the focus on abortion as just a form of health-care, or arguments around when human life begins, and defend abortion as a right to stop doing gestational work.
