article asks if perhaps abortion rights are eroding because pro-choice leaders grew too unfocused and complacent.features interviews with “more than 50" leaders in the reproductive rights movement, chronicling where the left went wrong in defending abortion rights.

At the same time, Gloria Gray, who heads the West Alabama Women’s Center in Tuscaloosa, said she couldn’t afford to give her staff raises or pay for a $20,000 fence to keep the daily protesters off the property. Her crowdfunding effort produced about $4,000.”responsibility for providing abortions disproportionately falls on these smaller, underfunded clinics in states like Alabama, where Planned Parenthood performed no abortions last year.

In the thread, McGill Johnson cites “huge electoral wins” by Planned Parenthood in recent elections, though those wins perhaps wouldn’t have been necessary had the right been prevented from gerrymandering districts and passing small restrictions in conservative states that ultimately amounted to the sweeping abortion bans threatening the country today.Overall, there seems to be no clear consensus on where the left went wrong in the battle for abortion access.
