Fran Luck & Sunsara Taylor Discuss Abortion Rights, Revolution & the Liberation of Women on the 50th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade

In late January, on what would've been the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision that established the constitutional right to abortion, Fran Luck and Sunsara Taylor spoke at Revolution Books in New York City.

There is much to learn from their discussion, including with the live audience. We invite our readers to watch the video which has just become available here:

Fran Luck & Sunsara Taylor discuss Abortion, Revolution & Women's Liberation on the 50th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade

From their different perspectives, they explored how the Supreme Court's decision to overturn abortion rights last year was a concentration of a Christian-fascist drive to force women back into an even more openly subordinate role. They dug into questions of reform and revolution, the relationship between capitalism and patriarchy, identity politics, the "woke" erasure of women, and urgent need for unleashing the fury of women against the growing assault on their lives.

Fran Luck is a long-time radical feminist and the host/producer of Joy Of Resistance Multicultural Feminist Radio on WBAI, 99.5 FM in New York City.

Sunsara Taylor is the co-host of The RNL—Revolution, Nothing Less!—Show at youtube.com/therevcoms; a follower of the revolutionary leader Bob Avakian; and a co-initiator of RiseUp4AbortionRights.org.

We are at a turning point in history. The capitalist-imperialist system is a horror for billions of people here and around the world and threatening the very fabric of life on earth. Now the election of fascist Trump poses even more extreme dangers for humanity—and underscores the total illegitimacy of this system, and the urgent need for a radically different system.

The website Revcom.us follows the revolutionary leadership of Bob Avakian (BA), the author of the new communism. Bob Avakian has scientifically analyzed that we are in a rare time when an actual revolution has become more possible in the U.S. He’s charted a strategy for making that revolution, and laid out a sweeping vision and concrete blueprint for “what comes next” in the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America.

Revcom.us projects BA’s voice, leadership, and vision throughout society. It posts his timely leadership for the revcoms (revolutionary communists) and the whole movement for revolution, including his social media posts, and curates his whole body of work. 

Our website applies the scientific approach BA has developed to analyze major events in society and the world—why they are happening, how they relate to each other, how all this relates to the system we live under, where people's interests lie, how revolution is in fact the solution to all this, and what the goals of that revolution are.

Revcom.us acts as a guiding and connecting hub for the revcom movement nationwide: showing what’s being done, digging into what’s right and what’s wrong, and rapidly learning—and recruiting new people into what has to be a rapidly growing force. As part of this, revcom.us feature and promotes the weekly The RNL—Revolution, Nothing Less!—Show on YouTube.com. 

Put it this way: there will be no revolution unless this website not only “keeps going” but rises to a whole different level!
