The extreme Texas Abortion Ban caught most people by surprise. Next month, the Supreme Court is scheduled to hear a direct challenge to the 1973 landmark Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion. This round table aims to sound the alarm on this assault on women’s fundamental rights, deepen understanding of the stakes, arouse people’s fighting spirit to not let this go down, and explore what kind of future is possible and worth fighting for.
Hosted by Sunsara Taylor, writer for revcom.us, host and producer of We Only Want the World on WBAI and WPFW, and co-host of The RNL — Revolution, Nothing Less — Show.
The program includes:
A legal break-down by Dahlia Lithwick, who writes about the courts and the law for Slate and hosts the podcast Amicus.
A message from courageous abortion provider, Dr. Warren Hern.
