The availability of this data already poses a unique threat to the lives of all people with uteruses, but in a world without Roe the risk of this data becoming a weapon for the anti-abortion movement.
, the state controls pregnant people as a way of signaling to them that they are not in charge of their bodies. The point of overturningand restricting access to abortion is to push women out of full citizenship. The state decides who is a citizen on the basis of race and nation of origin, but also on on the basis of gender and sexuality. This is what is known as sexual citizenship.
For most of the history of nation states, women were not granted full sexual citizenship. Nor were LGBTQ+ people. The way the state denies sexual citizenship to trans people is by denying trans people the right to access hormones or gender-affirming surgeries or to play sports or to change their state-issued documents. The way gay and lesbian people were long denied sexual citizenship was by not being able to serve in the military or be legally married.
The state decides who is a citizen on the basis of race and nation of origin, but also on on the basis of gender and sexuality. This is what is known as sexual citizenship. And so, when as a culture we move on from the deeply misogynist impulse to force women to bear children against their will to other presumably more important rights, we reinforce the patriarchy. We refuse to witness the horror of it or by acting as if this particular form of state violence isn’t enough, but could really have terrible consequences for other, more important groups of people than women as a group.
Let’s just sit with the fact that in the U.S. women are not full sexual citizens and therefore not fully human—even as we complicate it with which women will be the most likely to suffer the consequences of this Supreme Court explosion of misogyny and the fact that not all people who need abortions are women.
