How Abortion Harms Women: Conceptual and Concrete Levels
Abortion perpetuates the misleading notion that female bodies are inferior to male bodies, thereby reinforcing the idea that women must adopt the same behaviors as men to attain equality. However, this conceptualization of equality as conformity to masculine vices harms both men and women. Abortion also poses physical, emotional, and psychological risks to women, as documented by various studies. Promoting solidarity with women should involve recognizing the asymmetries of human reproduction and respecting the unique nature of female bodies in societal structures such as the economy, education, and marriage.
