The Women’s Movement Takes Off, The 1850s

After the Uvalde shooting and the new abortion law that passed, I needed to gather my thoughts and rearrange how I wanted to move forward with the following episodes. So after a couple of months off, I'm back with more education on how history repeats itself, and I'm picking up where I left off. 

[2:30] My focus for this podcast is to highlight that women have demanded to be treated as full citizens and human beings in the United States when this country was founded.

[6:18] 1850s Rich, White patriarchy decides that women aren't included in the constitution or the preamble. 

[7:54] What are women advocating for? Equal citizenship!

[14:40] My uterus and your uterus, Why are we treated this way.

[24:42] Lucy Stone rewrites the marriage contract.

[25:58] Historians credit Storer for leading the Physicians’ Crusade Against Abortion, which they consider primarily responsible for increased laws criminalizing abortion in the late 1800s.

[28:06] Samuel Alito denies that abortion was once legal based on his opinion on "quickening."

[30:39] Obstetrics were carried out by midwives and other women.

[40:08] Contraception
