Capitalism, Abortion, and Women's Labor

This chapter explores a Marxist perspective on abortion, arguing that reproductive rights are essential for women's integration into the labor force within a capitalist society. It critiques the economic framing of abortion and examines the historical context of women's workforce participation, particularly in relation to unpaid domestic labor. By analyzing the intersection of Marxist theory and feminist ideals, the chapter highlights the implications of denying reproductive choices and the socio-economic structures that contribute to women's subjugation.
