A New Aggressive Anti-Abortion Group Was Founded in San Francisco
Ever since the Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade, emboldened anti-abortion activists have used increasingly aggressive efforts to shut down abortion access in San Francisco.
In October, an anti-abortion crusader entered the local Planned Parenthood brandishing a gun. And a new anti-abortion movement that launched in San Francisco is gaining popularity through TikTok posts of members performing clinic invasions.
City officials stepped up abortion protections with new legislation and Proposition O — a ballot measure to support women seeking abortions, which passed with 84% of the vote. That’s in keeping with a long San Francisco tradition of fighting for abortion access going back to the mid-1960s when a trial widely known as the San Francisco Nine sparked a nationwide movement that led to loosened restrictions.
In this episode, we take a look at San Francisco’s 60-year history in the battle for reproductive rights, a new increasingly aggressive anti-abortion movement, and what reproductive justice activists are doing to keep up the fight.
