Sunsara Taylor: Female Enslavement in the “Land of the Free” – We Need a New Society with: Abortion on Demand & Without Apology

 

Female Enslavement in the "Land Of the Free" – We Need a New Society with: ABORTION ON DEMAND AND WITHOUT APOLOGY! by Sunsara Taylor   Read or watch here   It has now been one year since the Supreme Court ripped from women their fundamental right to abortion. Millions of women in Alabama, Texas, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Idaho and nine other states now live without the right to abortion. It is now routine for hospitals to turn away miscarrying women, sending them to bleed out in parking lots and bathtubs at the risk of infection, infertility and death. Every day women are being forced to have children against their will. They are being driven over the edge. Trapped with abusers. Forced out of school. Robbed of their dreams. Told by society and the law that their bodies are not their own. Their safety counts for nothing. Their biology is their destiny. No different than the Dark Ages. Already, Christian fascists are pushing a nationwide abortion ban. Already, fascist judges have resurrected arcane legal codes from the 1800s and even the 1500s, laying the groundwork to eradicate birth control and worse. And this is just the beginning. No one with a beating heart, no one who claims to respect women, no one who has an ounce of compassion for our daughters and for justice as a whole can continue to lie down for this!

NEW from Bob Avakian: Anti-Scientific “Anti-Authoritarianism”: Serving American Imperialism and Promoting American Chauvinism

 

In This Issue… June 19, 2023 WE ARE THE REVCOMS: WE ARE WORKING FOR A REAL REVOLUTION AND A WHOLE NEW, EMANCIPATING WAY TO LIVE Watch, read, and spread on occasion of Juneteenth: BOB AVAKIAN FOR THE LIBERATION OF BLACK PEOPLE AND THE EMANCIPATION OF ALL HUMANITY NEW from Bob Avakian: ANTI-SCIENTIFIC “ANTI-AUTHORITARIANISM”: Serving American Imperialism and Promoting American Chauvinism From The RNL Show: The Trump Indictment...and Why This Is a Rare Time When Revolution Is More Possible & more Welcome to the June 19, 2023 issue of Revolution. We strive to ground all the coverage at revcom.us in the science, strategy and vision brought forward by Bob Avakian, BA, the most important thinker and leader in the world today. The method and approach developed by BA enables us to analyze the underlying dynamics and driving forces of events, to go up against and lay bare the false paths that are out there, and to lay the foundations of the revolution humanity so urgently needs. The race against time we face is one of bringing forward millions for revolution in the next few years to meet the challenge of making revolution in these times. The keys to this are laid out by BA in a number of critical works, especially Something Terrible, Or Something Truly Emancipating: Profound Crisis, Deepening Divisions, The Looming Possibility Of Civil War—And The Revolution That Is Urgently Needed. A Necessary Foundation, A Basic Roadmap For This Revolution, and now, in the recent Bob Avakian Interviews on The RNL—Revolution, Nothing Less!—Show on YouTube. Without grounding yourself in and returning to these works, along with other critical works for this whole period, you won’t really know what’s going on or why—with all the horrors today—revolution is actually more possible. And you won’t know how to go to work on realizing that possibility.  Table of Contents: WE ARE THE REVCOMS: WE ARE WORKING FOR A REAL REVOLUTION AND A WHOLE NEW, EMANCIPATING WAY TO LIVE Read the text of proclamation issued May 1, 2023 Get PDFs of the broadsheet for printing: Cover/Back/Centerfold NEW from Bob Avakian: ANTI-SCIENTIFIC “ANTI-AUTHORITARIANISM”: Serving American Imperialism and Promoting American Chauvinism (Download PDF pamphlet) U.S. Constitution: An Exploiters’ Vision of Freedom—Added Notes (and Brief Introduction), by Bob Avakian (Download PDF pamphlet) From Bob Avakian… Basics 3:1 Enough of “woke folk” who act as if it is actually oppressed people who are fragile beings… Everything Depends… Without Confronting the Very Real Horror… “Woke” Is a Destructive Force A Seven Point Indictment: “Woke” is a destructive force in the political, intellectual, artistic and ethical life of society VIDEO: “Woke” Lunacy vs. Real Revolution, a speech by Sunsara Taylor (a special episode of The RNL—Revolution, Nothing Less!—Show) VIDEO: UCLA Q&A #3: How Does Abortion Liberate Women? | Why Did "Woke-ism" Become so Dominant? [new] VIDEO: Q&A at UCLA #2: Why Use the Word "Woke"? — Communism Is Anti-Woke? — Objective Reality & Safe Spaces VIDEO: Q&As at UCLA #1 From Sunsara Taylor: Donate to “Woke” Lunacy vs. Real Revolution Campus Speaking Tour Reposted: BOB AVAKIAN ON ANARCHISM AND ANARCHISTS—Some Good Intentions, but No Fundamental Solution, and Some Big Problems Special page: Get involved with the Sunsara Taylor Campus Speaking Tour [updated] Bob Avakian on Opposing “Woke” Madness and Obstructions Watch, read, and spread on occasion of Juneteenth: BOB AVAKIAN FOR THE LIBERATION OF BLACK PEOPLE AND THE EMANCIPATION OF ALL HUMANITY (Watch / Read) No Nuclear War!
