Race and Abortion Politics in the US
This talk covers the racial politics of the pro-life movement from Roe v. Wade (1973) to the Dobbs decision (2022). In doing so, it explores how opposing abortion changed from a primarily Catholic position to become an evangelical one, uniting evangelical values voters and helping to reshape US politics nationally. Beginning in the 1970s, white evangelicals across the United States began to politically organize against abortion by framing fetuses as the most persecuted group in history. Using language like the 鈥渁bortion holocaust鈥� and 鈥渢he Civil Rights issue of our time,鈥� evangelicals attempted to turn abortion, rhetorically, into a new racial justice issue. This talk shows how race has remained central to abortion politics in the United States.
