It's the 51st anniversary of Roe v. Wade and abortion is under sustained attack. A couple years ago I wrote a short piece "We're Pro-Choice and We Riot: How Anarcha-Feminists Built Dual Power in Struggles for Reproductive Freedom" in npub1p9t76z035svpg0tk87rmysa06p3etuxdzukhmte02w7zgdlt77rs28mltx (npub1p9t…mltx) about the history of anarcha-feminist struggles to defend abortion and build autonomous health infrastructure.

"Anarcha-feminists were on the front lines of the struggle for abortion throughout the 1980s and ‘90s. They were convinced that Roe v. Wade would not last forever and that they could not depend on the state and the legal system to protect reproductive freedom. Anarcha-feminists took a three-pronged approach to abortion struggle: defense of abortion clinics, construction of grassroots reproductive health infrastructure, and an anti-state approach to building feminist dual power.

...

Anarchists advocated expanding grassroots infrastructure and self-organization to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to perform their own reproductive care. They argued that this would produce true reproductive freedom and autonomy that was independent of the state and its laws."
