Navigating a Post-Roe America: Insights, lessons, and reflections after a decade leading in the reproductive justice movement
Navigating a Post-Roe America: Insights, lessons, and reflections after a decade leading in the reproductive justice movement
In the wake of the overturning of Roe v. Wade, Americans everywhere are strategizing and mobilizing to protest and challenge the abolishment of the right to abortion care. These actions are necessary and important, though it is often forgotten that even when Roe was in place, abortion care for many women still was not adequate. This talk will examine the realities of reproductive health care for women before the end of Roe, where we are now, in the post-Roe era, and what strategies we need to employ going forward in anticipation of the erosion of even more rights.
