”
A reproducing person’s right to make decisions a
bout their own body is one of the most divisive political issues today.
The U.S. Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade with th
e 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization deci
sion has ushered in renewed forms of intolerance, judgment, secrecy, ris
k, danger, anger, and despair. Given this context, inclusive and just re
productive politics–politics that assure the agency, dignity, and
safety of all–can seem beyond our reach. But rather than giving up
, the overturn of Roe can spark our hope; it can prompt us to
identify rhetorical tactics for reimagining the possible and support pur
poseful work toward a truly equitable reproductive politics. The first s
tep in such reimagining is listening carefully to the stories of others.
As we listen, we can press ourselves to explore what stories can d
o: they can call on us to grapple with the unfamiliar, recognize our own
implicit biases, and deliberate beyond polarizing talking points.
As Kenneth Burke reminds us, the stories we encounter can be recognized
as "strategies for dealing with situations," can function as
"equipment for living." Activists, advocates, and academics al
ike have the opportunity to use the current toxic state of rep
roductive politics as motivation for rethinking broader strategies as we
move forward, together. Stories can propel and critically inform this c
oalitional movement, serving as rhetorical resources for advocacy work a
s we deliberate toward reproductive justice for all and deepen our reser
ves of hopefulness.
