“…Neither is it necessary for the doctor to ask for and record reasons for an abortion. This reinforces the notion of 'good' and 'bad' abortions (Beynon-Jones, 2012;Bloomer et al, 2019). Decriminalisation would help to create a more 'open' and de-stigmatised atmosphere in consultations relating to abortion, which would have a beneficial effect on women's wellbeing.…”

“…In addition to eliminating harsh and unnecessary punishments on women (Bloomer et al, 2019) and those who provide safe abortion care, decriminalisation will ensure that the principles of choice and informed consent in healthcare decisions, now embedded in modern medical practice, apply equally to women's reproductive health and allow for advancements in abortion technologies and service delivery models to optimise abortion care.…”

“…Northern Ireland, Poland). Conservative discourses underpin abortion policy at the national, regional and global levels (Bloomer et al., 2020). An anti‐gender perspective draws attention to the strategies used by groups opposing gender equality policies (Darakchi, 2019; Korolczuk, 2021; Wilkinson, 2021).…”

Abortion mobilities emerged within political geography and the reproductive mobilities scholarship to address extant theoretical and empirical gaps in these fields. This paper seeks to highlight and assess the abortion mobilities scholarship to date. Starting with a working definition of abortion mobilities, this paper argues for the relevance of abortion to political geography and outlines three key themes in political geography that abortion mobilities address: borders, states and anti-genderism, intersectional politics and reproductive justice, and activism and abortion pills.

“…Abortion rights are a crucial component of reproductive rights, women's empowerment, and gender equality (Forman-Rabinovici and Sommer 2018b;Rebouché 2016). Access to abortion is buttressed by foundational international law pertaining to women's rights and/or human rights (Bloomer, Pierson, and Estrada 2018;Hunt 2021). While existing work has made headway in identifying the motivators of abortion liberalization, it has neglected the consequences of abortion restrictions.…”

A Ticking Time Bomb: Restrictions on Abortion Rights and Physical Integrity Rights

Do abortion restrictions augur broader crackdowns on human rights? We examine the relationship between restrictions on abortion and future Physical Integrity Rights (PIR) abuses. We argue that abortion restrictions both directly and indirectly influence PIR. Directly, abortion restrictions serve as a testing ground for repressive policies and behaviors. Indirectly, restrictions worsen inequality across segments of society and winnow support for social and religious diversity. When abortion restrictions are enacted, regimes are better equipped to shift society and consolidate power, as a subdued public is discouraged from voicing collective grievances. Using a variety of time-series cross-sectional approaches, we show that significant retractions in abortion access foretell erosion of PIR. - Paper is Forthcoming at the American Political Science Review
