DESCRIPTION:Film * Speaker * Q&A * Light Refreshments\n\nDOROTHY FADIMAN\nFilmmaker, 
 Author, Teacher\nThe History: When Abortion Was Illegal & The Struggle to 
 Legalize Abortion\n\nThe Supreme Court has just heard a case from Texas 
 that represents the gravest threat in years to women’s right to access 
 legal, safe abortions. The case, Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt, 
 centers around the latest tactic being used by anti-choice activists: 
 targeted regulation of abortion providers, or TRAP. Over twenty state 
 legislatures have attempted to severely restrict access to clinics by 
 imposing burdensome, nearly impossible to meet requirements on the 
 clinics.\n\nThese restrictions are causing clinics around the country to 
 close their doors, leaving millions of women without any affordable access. 
 In states that have passed TRAP legislation, the majority of women who 
 suffer from the loss of access are the poor. In Texas in particular, those 
 most targeted are poor Latinas.\n\nFor this Women’s History Month special 
 program, Dorothy Fadiman will present selections from her Emmy 
 Award-winning film trilogy, From the Back Alleys to the Supreme Court and 
 Beyond. This deeply moving documentary presents the stark history of what 
 life was like for American women before abortion was made legal, safe and 
 widely available, all elements now at risk of returning. Dorothy will also 
 present portions of her documentary that record the history of women 
 demanding their rights, resulting in Roe v Wade.\n\nPost Film Discussion: 
 the ramifications of the recent Supreme Court case, the wide-ranging and 
 highly organized use of TRAP laws nationally to challenge women’s 
 hard-won rights, and what the future of freedom of choice might look 
 like.\n\nWe will begin the program with a very brief video tribute to Berta 
 Cáceres, the Honduran environmental and indigenous rights activists who 
 was recently assassinated.\n\nFree and open to all. Wheelchair 
 accessible.\nPlease let us know if you plan to attend. Click
