The Fight for Reproductive Freedom: State Landscape, SCOTUS & the Women’s Health Protection Act
Join the Global Women’s Caucus and NARAL Pro-Choice America for a lively panel discussion with experts who will share the state of anti-choice legislation, the current Supreme Court dilemma, and the status of the Women’s Health Protection Act in Congress.
European abortion legislation will also be discussed as a metric to compare and contrast current and future U.S. policy decisions.
We will open to floor to questions so please do send any questions you would like to ask the panelists to [email protected]. Join us to learn about how bad the situation is, and what we can and should do about the status of women’s reproductive rights!
