On June 24, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court removed the constitutional right to abortion.  This hard-won right being overturned in one of the world's oldest democracies shows that women's rights are still under threat.

Fifty years apart, two U.S. Supreme Court decisions changed women's fundamental right to have control over their own bodies. How to explain this step backwards? Immediate consequences of this decision are felt, with deeper and far-reaching impacts continuing to permeate American society. Who had an interest in challenging the fundamental right of women to make their own decisions when it comes to their own lives and bodies? What were the decisions, messages and strategies that were used to achieve this? What ideologies were behind them? To understand how the bodies and destinies of American women have become political playgrounds, it is essential to look at this part of U.S. history on the eve of the November 2024 elections.
