**CW: THIS VIDEO DISCUSSES ABORTION AND FORCED STERILIZATION*
Dr. Fraad points out the class differences in birth control in the U.S., and how abortion access & forced sterilization are used to divide and control the working class.
"The right wing is trying to assert male supremacy and white male supremacy and to divide the mass of workers from each other, so that we don't all together demand a more just and economically possible future together. Abortion is an element of class control through controlling women's bodies, and it has always been so." - Dr. Harriet Fraad
