Of these, 45 percent have had more than one. Thus, chances are that more often than not, whether in an elevator, a diner or a bar, anyone might be in the presence of at least one woman who has had an abortion.<\/p>\n<p>This is one of the chief arguments Katha Pollitt, feminist poet and columnist at The Nation, uses to suggest that \u201cabortion is a normal experience. It\u2019s all around us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Not only that, these statistics present an interesting corollary, Pollitt said. \u201cIf you believe abortion is murder, then one in three women are murderers, and some are serial killers,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Pollitt advocated her pro-choice stance as she presented her latest book \u201cPro: Reclaiming Abortion Rights\u201d at the University of Chicago on Wednesday, the eve of the 43th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion in 1973. The presentation was hosted by the university\u2019s Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality and drew a few dozen students, faculty and Chicago residents.<\/p>\n<p>Pollitt said that in her book, she seeks to frame abortion rights as connected to so much more than just mere access to a medical procedure. Reproductive rights are an issue of social justice, and efforts to increase free and safe access to abortion fall under the category of what Pollitt called \u201creproductive justice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbortion is about more than abortion,\u201d she said. It\u2019s about the way we see motherhood, family, social justice. Reproductive justice is about putting the personal right to abortion in a larger social context.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This perspective, Pollitt said, casts women as the primary decision-maker in the debate on abortion. The choice of whether or not to seek an abortion should be entirely the pregnant woman\u2019s decision. However, the shift in the debate on abortion from the realm of health care to the realm of religion has meant that the attention is now on the fetus instead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fetus is the star now, and that\u2019s one of the reason why we tend to not be doing well right now,\u201d Pollitt said. Referring to the recent tendency among pro-life advocates to use photos of ultrasound to appeal to people\u2019s emotions, Pollitt said that \u201cthe ultrasound erases the woman. You only see one thing, and that\u2019s the fetus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Besides, Pollitt said, seeking an abortion is also about trying to be a good mother, and recognizing some pregnancies come at a point in life where a woman cannot provide for her child.<\/p>\n<p>The emphasis on the fetus has also increased barriers to allowing abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy. \u201cThere\u2019s this highly disputed notion that the fetus feels pain after 20 weeks,\u201d Pollitt said. \u201cPolitical campaigns have delegitimized the possibility to have an abortion after 20 weeks, and it\u2019s harder and harder to find providers that will do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pollitt also sought to debunk myths, stereotypes and stigmas surrounding abortion by providing statistics that testify to the normalcy of this experience. The fact that 60 percent of women who have abortions are mothers speaks against the stereotype of the abortion-seeking woman as irresponsible and reckless with sex and birth control, Pollitt said.<\/p>\n<p>She also mentioned a University of California study revealing that 95 percent of women who have had an abortion do not regret their decision, either immediately after or three years later. But anti-abortion activists have made regret a central component of their campaigns, claiming that women who have had the procedure go through serious post-abortion syndromes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy is regret so important?\u201d Pollitt asked. \u201cThe insistence on post-abortion syndrome has a significant political effect. Anti-abortion advocates capitalize on it to push lawmakers to change laws. But why should women who regret outweigh women who don\u2019t regret?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Pollitt, the statistics she quoted are simple facts that, combined together, have the power to change the public perception on abortion in the hope of preventing further legislation to restrict access to it. But perhaps the most convincing argument of all, she said, is that abortion won\u2019t cease to exist just because the laws in place restrict access to it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCountries where abortion is illegal have much higher rates of abortion than where it\u2019s legal,\u201d Pollitt said. \u201cThe absence of laws only means abortion is less safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In welcoming Pollitt to stage, Linda Zerilli, faculty director of the Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality, praised her for situating abortion in the larger context of gender, class and race relations in the United States. She also said it\u2019s essential to never quit the continuous struggle to hold on to the right to abortion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRights exist only insofar as we reclaim them as rights,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"featurecaption\">Photo at top: Abortion activists picket at a pro-choice march on Jan. 17 in the Loop.
