罗诉韦德案（Roe v. Wade）之后的局势今年春天，我们在拍摄一部纪录片的过程中跟随反堕胎运动领袖克里斯坦·霍金斯（Kristan Hawkins）走遍了美国，听到了她多次强调的观点。她最希望进步派读者和观众能够认真思考的一点是：堕胎是错误的，应该在全国范围内被禁止。
Life After Roe This spring, the team heard a of talking points from anti-abortion leader Kristan Hawkins as we followed her around the country for a documentary. The one she most urgently wants progressive readers and viewers to consider: Abortion is wrong and should be banned nationwide.
霍金斯已经领导“美国生命学生组织”（Students for Life of America）长达20年；由于我的相关工作（包括我最近出版的书籍），她一直备受我的关注。她曾经只是反堕胎运动中的边缘人物，但随着2022年最高法院裁决被推翻后该运动逐渐向右翼偏移，她逐渐成为了反堕胎运动的主流领袖。
Hawkins has led Students for Life of America for 20 years, and because of my work—including my recent book, she’s been on my radar for much of that time. Hawkins was once a fringe figure, but as the movement has shifted ever further to the right since the decision overturned in 2022, she has become a leader of the anti-abortion mainstream.
早在她的朋友查理·柯克（Charlie Kirk）还在上中学的时候，霍金斯就开始在大学校园里动员保守派学生，组织年轻人投票支持强硬派政治家，并推动实施严厉的堕胎禁令。她提出的许多策略确实取得了成效——当最高法院的裁决被推翻的那一天，她站在最高法院外的讲台上，为这个“新时代”欢呼。
Hawkins has been mobilizing conservative students on college campuses since her friend Charlie Kirk was still in middle school, rallying an army of young people to elect hardline politicians and lobby for draconian abortion bans. And many of the strategies she pioneered worked: The day was overturned, she was on the podium outside the Supreme Court, cheering the new era.
然而四年过去了，事情的发展并未如反堕胎运动所预期的那样。由于堕胎药的可获得性大幅增加，情况发生了变化。如今，当她在大学校园里进行辩论时，总会遇到自己运动内部更为极右翼的势力，这些势力甚至主张将堕胎的女性关进监狱。她的支持者——那些比以往任何时候都更加进步的年轻女性——也开始逐渐对她失去兴趣。
But four years later, things haven’t gone quite the way the anti-abortion movement planned, thanks to an explosion in abortion-pill access. These days, as she debates on college campuses using the format Kirk popularized, Hawkins is constantly confronted by an even farther-right faction of her own movement that wants to lock women up for having abortions. And she’s losing traction with her target audience, young women, who are more progressive than ever before.
事实证明，成为“查理·柯克的女性版本”（即一个极端保守的反堕胎活动家）会让她面临来自各方的压力和反对。
It turns out, being a female version of Charlie Kirk can bring heat from all sides.
但霍金斯坚持了下来，因为她明白改变法律是不够的。相反，她的使命是让堕胎变得不可想象——为此，她知道需要改变文化、触达进步女性——这也是为什么她让我们跟随她在机场洗手间化妆、在休斯顿太空中心停车场拍摄一次失败的堕胎药钓鱼执法行动、并讨论堕胎药物是否可能污染了她最爱的能量饮料。
But Hawkins has kept at it, because she understands changing the law is not enough. Instead, her mission is to make abortion To do that, she knows she needs to change the culture—and reach progressive women—which is why she let us tag along while she put on makeup in an airport bathroom, filmed a botched abortion-pill sting operation in the parking lot of the Space Center Houston, and discussed whether abortion medication might be tainting her favorite energy drink.
在这个过程中，我们看到霍金斯试图捍卫与大多数美国人想法相悖的极端立场。这不仅让我们对霍金斯本人，也对整个反堕胎运动在一个关键且意想不到的十字路口上，有了一个启人深省却又令人不安的洞察。
Along the way, we saw Hawkins try to defend extreme positions at odds with how the majority of Americans think. It was an illuminating, and unsettling, look not just at Hawkins, but at the entire anti-abortion movement at a critical, and unexpected, crossroads.
