Dr. Diane Horvath and Dr. Malina Spirito will discuss the challenges of offering abortion and other reproductive health care services in the wake of the Dobbs decision, their experiences on the front lines of reproductive care, and their role in linking advocacy to their work as practitioners.
On the Front Lines of Care and Advocacy:Abortion and Reproductive Rights post-Dobbs
The 2022-2023 Bi-Co Speaker Series on the past, present, and future of reproductive rights and abortion seeks to foster conversations around the experiences, opportunities, and challenges facing patients, practitioners, and advocates in the wake of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade. Continuing our conversations from last semester, our two spring events aim to connect students with practitioners on the front lines of providing reproductive and abortion care and advocates on the front lines of the legal and policy battles for reproductive rights and justice. Both events will include plenty of time for conversation, questions, and discussion. All in our Bi-Community are welcome to attend!
