Vociferous Press Reproductive Rights Anthology A project of Vociferous Press (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (May 2020). We provide the following information as an archive. About In the current political climate, many find themselves voiceless. With Roe v. Wade under attack and abortion bans squaring off against reproductive rights, those with agendas use case studies and extrapolated scenarios to speak for entire groups. Yet such generalities almost certainly miss details and nuances important to the larger debate. Birthing parents, in particular, often have less political power than birth partners or even fetuses. Cis women, disabled people, and trans people all become talking points and cardboard hypotheticals, their realities forgotten. Even as their bodies become a battleground, birthing parents find their voices and experiences with pregnancy ignored. With this anthology, we want to bring the voices and experiences of birthing parents back to the forefront. Every pregnancy has the potential to transform bodies and lives, and all pregnancies carry risks of long-term health issues or even death. Each person’s body belongs to them alone. So does each person’s voice. Let us hear you and feel your life. Your experience with pregnancy is unique, including how it began, how it ended, and whether it happened the way you wanted. All are welcome to submit.
