Pro-choice button, 1989

Title: Pro-choice button, 1989
Description: A photograph of a button pin commemorating the 1989 pro-choice march in Washington, D.C. It reads, "I Marched For Choice In Spirit" and "Never Again!" in an image of a coat hanger to memorialize those who have lost their lives due to unsafe abortions. The April pro-choice march was just one of many where hundreds of thousands attended. This framing of marching for "choice" appeals to the notions of personal freedom and contextualizes the framework of abortion rights from an autonomous lens rather than a social and political ideology.
