The design of this hanky, cut from one piece of paper, uplifts grizzly bears and three plants–tansy, rue, and pennyroyal–that have documented use over centuries as abortifacients. Grizzly bears use multiple means of reproductive autonomy, with several tactics to choose when the time is right to become pregnant, and to end or prevent pregnancy when the time is not right. Tying into the popularized green hanky worn by Argentinian abortion access organizers that has spread around the world, this hanky highlights the reality that reproductive autonomy is, and always has been, a part of life.
