Every day, 385,000 newborn babies enter the world. A fledgling group of theorists and writers is interested in reimagining how we think about these births and the children they produce. Using the provocative tagline “Abolish the Family,” this group of thinkers wants to challenge current notions of family structure and reproduction.
Abolish the Family and Redistribute Reproduction
Dr. Sophie Lewis is at the forefront of the family abolitionist cause. In an interview with Verso Press, Lewis describes some of her core concerns with the current state of the biological family. These concerns range from the family’s role in capitalism to the idea that children should not be owned by anyone. For our purposes, I want to focus on her thoughts related to human reproduction.
