After the Supreme Court decision suspended the national right to abortion in the US, the American activist and somatic sex therapist Kimberly Johnson felt adrift.
Born in 1974, a year after Roe v Wade (the case that legalized the procedure in the country), she never thought that women would have that right threatened.
"I feel tired of the territory of the woman's body becoming the terrain where these political questions are played," she said in an interview with Folha.
Johnson traveled to Brazil so that her daughter could spend time with her father, who is Brazilian.
Author of the books "Call of the Wild" and "The Forth Trimester," the latter being about postpartum, she says that defending reproductive rights is putting herself in favor of both abortion and motherhood.
Johnson defines herself as a women's rights activist but believes modern feminism is going against biological issues of a woman's body. "Women are completely shaken because the story of equity feeds us."
