ABSTRACT
Basic women's healthcare continues to be argued not as a universal right or human health necessity but one steeped in morality and religious politics. Both of these examples demonstrate to what extent politics is directly impacting medical access. Anti-abortion groups have been successful in co-opting issues around choice, fetal pain and ideas of fetal personhood. As Sarah Brown from The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy stated at a 2010 symposium, family planning is not integrated into women's health. The public is ignorant about contraception knowledge and this country has a non-system of family planning. Architecture has the ability to engage the larger political and social issues inherent within the abortion conflict. Sure bubble laws have been created as well as varying types of spatial zones but access only continues to be whittled away by individual state governments who are alarmingly more and more anti-woman and anti-healthcare as a basic human right.
