 “ACCESS”  will give an update on current issues facing The Reproductive

 Rockridge Branch Library, meeting room, 5366 College Ave, Oakland  A LIFE 
 MATTERS, THE STORY OF AN ILLEGAL ABORTIONIST   A Life Matters tells the 
 story of Dr. Curtis Boyd, a Pentecostal/Baptist minister who relinquished 
 the pulpit in the 1960s to become a doctor who provided thousands of safe, 
 illegal abortions prior to Roe v. Wade. This film tells the story of Dr. 
 Boyd and a group of compassionate clergymen, who remain dedicated to the 
 idea that all women have the right to a safe abortion.   JENNIFER PARKER, 
 MSW , Exec. Dir. of ACCESS: (ACCESS Hotline & Practical Support Network)  
 Reproductive choice is not a reality for millions of women in California. 
 Women face all kinds of obstacles to reproductive health care: money, time, 
 distance, lack of childcare, language barriers, bureaucratic indifference, 
 and misinformation...We believe the right to make our own reproductive and 
 sexual decisions is essential to women's full social, economic and 
 political equality. We also believe that reproductive rights are 
 meaningless if you don't know how to get low cost birth control, there is 
 no abortion provider who accepts your insurance, you are afraid to seek 
 prenatal care because of your immigration status, or the closest clinic is 
 hours from your home. Our goal is to bridge the gaps between rights and 
 reality.   http://www.whrc-access.org  REFUSE & RESIST!   (Bay Area
