Abortion portrayed as a justice issue
Abortion supporters have shifted their focus to critical theory and claims of victimhood to portray abortion as a justice issue, labeling anyone opposing it as oppressors. Examples like a New York Times short film dramatizing abortion clinic workers' struggles against pro-life laws and protesters showcase this narrative. Language and imagery imply pro-lifers as oppressors reminiscent of Jim Crow supporters, aimed at controlling women, especially minorities. By injecting civil rights language into pro-abortion propaganda, the debate avoids moral and scientific grounds, relying on critical theory tactics of manipulation.
