Narrated by actress and activist Amy Brenneman, Roe at Risk: Fighting for Reproductive Justice describes the dramatic impact of nationwide attacks on women’s constitutional rights. By sharing the stories of women’s day-to-day struggles in Mississippi and Texas, the film shows the wrenching consequences of radical anti-abortion legislation. At the same time, it documents how women and their allies are fighting back, standing up bravely against politicians who propose laws that threaten the right to reproductive freedom and justice. Following the film, there will be a discussion of legislative and legal attacks on women’s health, and discussion of McCullen v. Coakley, a case before the U.S. Supreme Court that challenges a Massachusetts law which created a 35-foot buffer zone around reproductive health care centers that provide abortion.
This event is co-sponsored by Alliance for Justice, American Constitution Society Boston Lawyers Chapter, American Constitution Suffolk Law Chapter, Boston Students for Sexual and Reproductive Justice, Ibis Reproductive Health, NARAL Pro-Choice Massachusetts, Physicians for Reproductive Health, Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts, and Suffolk Law Women of Color Law Student Association.
