re Moll, I am so sorry about [the spoilers]. And not knowing Swedish, I'll just ask you. Doesn't the collapse destroy access to the sort of tech needing for environmental exploration? Hard to defoliate with just an axe and hand saw?

re: Hartmann, a good English keyword is "reproductive justice." Back in the Second Wave, Black women criticized mainstream White feminists because they didn't recognize how important being able to control who has access to your (potential) children was. It's a burning issue to the descendants of chattel slavery. During slave times, slave owners "developed" their wealth and property by raping enslaved women and selling their offspring.

SisterSong was the standard bearer back in the 1990s: their site isn't super-up-to-date but has good info

...and because abortion can be used as such a wedge issue, here's a relevant group
https://www.trustblackwomen.org/about-trust-black-women/our-story
where (hallelujah!) both pro- and anti-abortion folks come together to fight being divided-and-conquered.

Abortion is also a super-hot topic in the disability community. Many times the possibility of a disabled child is used to explain why an abortion is needed or why it's morally wrong. Our position is that few nondisabled parents understand what raising a disabled child means, and doctors are not going to be the ones to tell them.
