Description: 

WHAT REMAINS OF A WOMAN’S RIGHT TO CHOOSE?

U.S. reproductive health clinics are fighting to remain open.

Since 2010, 288 laws regulating abortion providers have been passed by state legislatures. In total, 44 states and the District of Columbia have measures subjecting abortion providers to legal restrictions not imposed on other medical professionals. Unable to comply with these far-reaching and medically unnecessary laws, clinics have taken their fight to the courts.

Earlier this year, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling (Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt) that prevents individual states from essentially outlawing abortion. Trapped follows the clinic workers and lawyers who were on the front lines of the battle to keep abortion safe and legal for millions of American women.

A panel discussion will follow featuring Dr. Lisa Levenstein, Associate Professor of History and Director of the Humanities Network and Consortium, Dr, Jennifer Whitney, Director of UNCG Counseling Center.

Co-sponsored by Recreation and Wellness, Women’s and Gender Studies, Advocates Taking Action, Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, and the UNCG Counseling Center.
