Writing the History of Legal Abortion
Writing the History of Legal Abortion Johanna Schoen (bio) I started to research the history of legal abortion in the early 2000s, when the papers of a North Carolina abortion provider, Dr. Takey Crist, fell into my lap. Crist had wanted to donate his papers to an archive, and I volunteered to help him. Indeed, I ended up organizing his entire collection and, following that, the collections of a number of other abortion providers.1 When I began t…
The End of Roe
The End of Roe Johanna Schoen (bio) On June 24, 2022, fifty years after the 1973 decision Roe v. Wade legalized abortion, the US Supreme Court overturned the Roe decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. In a sweeping ruling, the Dobbs decision was the final step in a five-decades-long process that began immediately after the legalization of abortion with a protracted battle over access to abortion. Abortion became legal at a time…
Reproductive decision-making in comparative perspective
Reproductive decision-making has been highly contested in Western countries and can thus serve as an illustration through which to trace changing norms, values, family concepts and gender roles. This special issue investigates public debates regarding legal abortion and women’s changing options for decision-making in the US, Germany, Sweden and Ireland as well as transnational abortion travels since the 1960s. After gaining the right to abortion,…
Abortion care as moral work

Prior to the legalization of abortion, clergy members and physicians who participated in the Clergy Consultation Service constructed a clear moral framework for abortion as they referred women to underground abortion services. With the legalization of abortion in 1973, supporters of legal abortion turned from arguments that articulated the morality of abortion to language that …
Living Through Some Giant Change
This article traces the establishment of abortion clinics following Roe v Wade. Abortion clinics followed one of two models: (1) a medical model in which physicians emphasized the delivery of high quality medical services, contrasting their clinics with the back-alley abortion services that had sent many women to hospital emergency rooms prior to legalization, or (2) a feminist model in which clinics emphasized education and the dissemination of …

Fighting for Child Health
In the mid-twentieth century, North Carolina's public medical services were the envy of public health practitioners nationwide. A centerpiece of the state's program was the nation's first state-run birth control program, established in 1937. The program offered pre- and postnatal care as well as access to contraceptives to indigent women. Feminists, civil rights advocates, and historians have contentiously debated the motivations of both proponen…
