Clayman Conversations Presents: Anti-Abortion Movements and the Future of Roe v. Wade
No events to view at this time. Please check back again soon.
Access to safe and legal abortion is rapidly declining across the U.S., and gains made by reproductive justice advocates are eroding. With Roe v. Wade hanging in the balance, anti-choice organizers are continuing to gain momentum at federal and local levels. In this Clayman Conversations event, speakers will address the gender and racial dimensions of the fight for reproductive justice. What are the racial dimensions of anti-abortion organizing, reproductive justice, and the fight for Roe v. Wade? Why has the far right used abortion as a battering ram in the U.S., and what might be the outcomes of this strategy?
