Abortion in the US: Realities, Laws & Healing

Title of Event:

Abortion in the US: Realities, Laws & Healing

Description of Event:

The Overturning of Roe v. Wade in June 2022 creates even more challenges and criminalization for many pregnant people to find quality care to terminate a pregnancy and those who support them. What we think we know about abortion is not exactly correct; especially as new legislation and decades of organizing for body autonomy have demonstrated. This class offers an overview of what options exist for pregnant people and what to expect, support for pre and post care, social impact of policies, climate chaos impact on abortion, and debunking myths while reminding us communities of color have always had their own rituals and practices for pregnancy options and have been organizing for generations. This class is taught with an equity and reproductive justice framework.
