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.

From the genocide in Gaza, to the growing threat of world war between nuclear powers, to escalating environmental devastation… the capitalist-imperialist system ruling over us is a horror for billions around the world and is tearing up the fabric of life on earth. Now the all-out battle within the U.S. ruling class, between fascist Republicans and war criminal Democrats, is coming to a head—likely during, or before, the coming elections—ripping society apart unlike anything since the Civil War. 

Bob Avakian (BA), revolutionary leader and author of the new communism, has developed a strategy to prepare for and make revolution. He’s scientifically analyzed that this is a rare time when an actual revolution has become more possible, and has laid out the sweeping vision, solid foundation and concrete blueprint for “what comes next,” in the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America. 

The website revcom.us follows and applies that leadership and is essential to all this. We post new materials from BA and curate his whole body of work. We apply the science he’s developed to analyze and expose every key event in society, every week. Revcom.us posts BA’s timely leadership for the revcoms (revolutionary communists), including his social media posts which break this down for people every week and sometimes more. We act as a guiding and connecting hub for the growing revcom movement nationwide: not just showing what’s being done, but going into what’s right and what’s wrong and rapidly learning—and recruiting new people into what has to be a rapidly growing force.

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