Item Restricted freedoms: abortion and the decline of freedom of choice in the United States(El Colegio de Sonora, 2016-04-08) Maier, Elizabeth; Maier, Elizabeth;*CA1235199In this article I examine recent events in the contemporary conflict over abortion in the United States. I frame today’s cultural dispute over abortion within the confines of a particular historical and structural context of transition between two distinct capitalist models: the era of industrial modernity and postindustrial, neoliberal globalization. In the article I explore the judicial history of abortion in the United States, while analyzing the content of representative discourses, and highlight demands of contending collective actors. Finally, I review new legislation that has limited access to legal abortion for economically vulnerable women in many states, evaluating its impact on women’s lives and implications for the future.
