Pro-choice activist: abortion is about the right to “play God”

Pro-choice activist Ellen Willis, whom the book Women of Color and the Reproductive Rights Movement describes as a “well-known feminist journalist,” was interviewed in 1996. She said that her early abortion rights work was about:

“asserting autonomy and subjecthood; it was about the right to have sex, play God, to bring life into the world.”
