ZDA in dostopnost abortusa : razredna diferenciacija pred odločitvijo vrhovnega sodišča v zadevi Dobbs in po njej

Burcar, Lilijana (author)

Prispevek pokaže, da odločitev ameriškega vrhovnega sodišča v zadevi Dobbs junija 2022, ki omogoča ponovno kriminalizacijo in prepoved abortusa v ZDA, vodi v poglabljanje že obstoječih razrednih neenakosti med ženskami pri dostopanju do UPN. Na osnovi historičnomaterialističnega pristopa pokažemo, da so ZDA v zadnjih petih desetletjih od sprejetja odločitve vrhovnega sodišča v zadevi Roe proti Wadu sistematično omejevale dostop do abortusa med ženskami z nizkimi dohodki in kratile njihovo reproduktivno avtonomijo. Ponovna kriminalizacija abortusa, ki jo posameznim državam dopušča odločitev vrhovnega sodišča v zadevi Dobbs, pomeni nadaljnje poglabljanje razredne diferenciacije v dostopnosti do abortusa. Kriminalizacija abortusa je in bo nesorazmerno ter najbolj prizadela finančno šibke skupine žensk, medtem ko bodo premožnejše svojo reproduktivno avtonomijo lahko še vedno uveljavljale s potovanji v tujino ali v druge ameriške države, ki abortusa ne prepovedujejo.

• Title: Abortion access in the USA : class differentiation before and after the Supreme court's overruling of Roe

Abstract

The article demonstrates that the 2022 US Supreme Court decision on Dobbs deepens class differentiation among women in the USA in their access to abortion. Relying on the historical materialist approach, we show that the USA have continuously limited access to abortion since its decriminalization on the federal level in 1973 by systematically targeting low-income women and violating their right to reproductive autonomy. The bans on abortion implemented in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision on Dobbs will further exacerbate the already existing inequalities in abortion access and reproductive autonomy between the poor and the rich women, with the latter being affected least as they will be able to afford interstate travel or travelling abroad in order to secure access to legal and safe abortions
