Pro-choice author compares banning abortions to rape

Here is a quote from a pro-choice author who interviewed workers and observed at an abortion clinic where abortions were done up to 26 weeks.

“Denying women access to safe abortion (whether we have been raped or not) is itself a form of figurative, if not literal, violation …. Rape denies us bodily integrity; so does restricting abortion. Both are strategies designed to subjugate women.”
