Abortion is not just healthcare; it is self-determination. Drawing on years of fieldwork with Moroccan activists and healthcare workers, Abortion, Sovereignty, and Patriarchy in Morocco highlights the contradictions of providing and seeking abortion care in contexts where the procedure is illegal. Jess Marie Newman argues that state control over abortion requires the dehumanization of all pregnant people. This unflinching, reflexively written feminist ethnography moves between transnational and personal scales to clarify abortion’s role at the heart of sovereignty and its indivisibility from bodily autonomy and national body alike. Newman forcefully demonstrates that abortion restores both self and reason to the unwillingly pregnant person. In other words, abortion is sovereignty.
