White men have controlled women’s reproductive rights throughout American history – the post-Dobbs era is no different

Candidates sparred over the idea of a federal abortion ban during the Aug. 23, 2023, Republican presidential debate.

Key Points: 
  • Candidates sparred over the idea of a federal abortion ban during the Aug. 23, 2023, Republican presidential debate.
  • And abortion is likely to figure prominently in the November 2023 contest for a seat on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
  • White men controlled people’s reproductive rights during the 20th century, too, with the American eugenics movement.
  • As a researcher who specializes in the history of race and racism in the U.S., I study historical issues related to race, gender and social justice.

Enslaved women forced to reproduce

    • With this shift, enslavers stepped up the forced breeding of enslaved women.
    • White men raped the Black women andgirls they enslaved, and then enslaved the children born from those rapes.
    • Because the Black midwives and enslaved women often were blamed for or suspected of using birth control and abortions to resist forced pregnancy and the enslavement of their offspring, enslavers turned increasingly away from midwives and to white male doctors to figure out why nearly half of enslaved infants were stillborn or died within their first year of life and why so many enslaved women were infertile.
    • The forced breeding of these enslaved women was linked to the profitability of southern economies.

Eugenics and control over women’s bodies

    • Thirty-two states, between 1907 and 1937, enacted forced sterilization mandates to prevent births by people eugenicists considered socially inadequate.
    • For example, in North Carolina, which had the country’s third-highest sterilization rate, far more women than men were forcibly sterilized.
    • Between 1930 and 1970, close to 33% of the women in Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory, were forcibly sterilized.
    • In California, between 1997 and 2003, 1,400 female inmates, mostly Black, were forcibly sterilized.

The post-Dobbs era

    • The Census Bureau projects that in the 2040s, non-Hispanic white people will no longer make up a majority of the U.S. population.
    • Black women represent 39% of the country’s abortion patients, but many live in communities that have limited access to family planning clinics.
    • As a result, Black women - who experience higher maternal complications and mortality rates - will be forced to give birth to more babies.
    • This is another period in the country in which the reproductive health decisions made by mostly white men will harm Black women.
