"She began working on a live-action role-playing game that reflected a variety of experiences around abortion, but pivoted to creating Childfree when she came across two other Larps that weren’t explicitly anti-abortion but used “the future of the potential child” as narrative motivation. “This felt deeply wrong to me,” says Cazeneuve. What mattered more, she felt, what needed to be centered and given more weight, was not the “potential” of an embyro but the life of the human being carrying it. “This is a humanist issue. Live-action role-playing, as a medium that fosters agency among its players, is a tool we can use to make people more deeply aware of that,” says Cazeneuve. “Unlike theatre, Larp maintains the agency of the subject – the player playing the pregnant person – and that was crucial to understand the topic.”"
