In a compelling portrayal of a dystopian future, where abortion care is illegal, individuals clandestinely exchange hand-altered playing card decks to share self-managed abortion information, history, and hope. The Abortion Trading Cards deck stands as a powerful representation of this vision.

Inspired by the 51st anniversary of the landmark Roe v Wade, Alexandra Jamieson was inspired to create the revolutionary Abortion Trading Cards deck.

This accessible art collection that fits in the palm of your hand aims to ignite thoughtful discussions surrounding one of society's most controversial and critically important topics.

Immerse yourself in this extraordinary deck, meticulously researched and adorned with stunning illustrations that showcase myriad perspectives and historical contexts.

INSPIRATION

Created by artist, activist-historian, and Gen X Goth Girl Alexandra Jamieson, the 36-card Abortion Trading Card deck was created in 2023 in response to the ongoing attack on abortion rights in the United States. Drawing from history, herbalist lore, feminist art, and the Constructivist Art movement, every courage-building deck donates profits to abortion care organizations like The Brigid Alliance.

The Abortion Trading Cards imagine a dystopian future where all abortion, sexual education, and reproductive healthcare is illegal. Information has been forced underground, and pregnant people secretly share information about abortifacient herbs, anatomy, and abortion history using decks of hand-altered playing cards. They were purposefully made to look and feel as if they had been “traded” amongst hundreds of hands, passed in secret from one person to the next. Hand-written notes and arcane symbols share camouflaged clues that have been forgotten or lost.
