Sovereignty

Abortion, Surrogacy, and Women’s Healthcare Autonomy

WoLF unapologetically supports reproductive freedom for women.

Reproductive freedom includes, but is not limited to, women’s rights to abortion and birth control for any reason, and freedom from coerced sterilization, abortion, and birth control. We fight against surrogacy and the commodification of women’s reproductive systems. We promote the visibility of midwives and doulas, and we encourage women’s knowledge and self-care of their bodies; this includes promoting informed consent for women when they receive healthcare. We speak out against women’s mistreatment and lack of adequate treatment in healthcare systems.

Why Doesn’t the Women’s Movement Prioritize Women?

We must recognize the female class, and we must recognize issues that impact the female class as disasters in their own right—not as prologues to real trouble for other, real people. Only by naming the issue and uniting as a cohesive class can we begin to work together towards a solution.
