Come join us on the anniversary of Roe V. Wade (the historic 1973 Supreme Court decision which legalized abortion nationwide) for an intriguing discussion on the right to abortion as a crucial part of the liberation of women. Speakers include: • Carol Downer, co-founder of the Feminist Women’s Health Center* and author of A New View of a Woman’s Body; • Cory Ellen Gatrall, LA for Choice*; • A speaker from the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA; • Lucia Marano, actor, will present dramatic readings of abortion letters.

“Imagine if abortion and birth control were available to all women at all times without stigma or apology
“Imagine if everyone learned the science surrounding women’s biology- as well as science and the scientific method more broadly - so that never again could so-called “holy men” prey on people’s ignorance and heap the weight of tradition, the shackles of forced motherhood, and the suffocation of shame on women for exercising these most fundamental rights.
“It’s not just a dream- it is possible - and it is urgently crying out to be done."
From A Declaration: For Women's Liberation and the Emancipation of All Humanity, Revolution #158
