@NadiaYChambers Recommend any number of books if you want more detail on the history, including Cynthia Gorney’s Articles of Faith. Clinics seemed like a good idea at first to some reproductive rights advocates, who understandably distrusted mainstream medicine. It was a combination of things.

Very sad to hear that Mike Davis is gravely ill. City of Quartz is justly regarded as his masterpiece but his book on American labor is stunning as well, one of the best studies of the US working-class that I’ve read.
