ACLU Pasadena Foothills Chapter: Abortion Bans: What's at Stake for Californians? 7-9:30p, Friends Meeting House, 520 E. Orange Grove Blvd., Pasadena. Across the country, anti-abortion politicians have been eroding our rights by pushing abortion care out of reach in state after state. Since 2011, they have quietly passed more than 400 restrictions, creating a web of barriers that make safe, respectful, and affordable abortion care out of reach for many. These politically motivated laws force doctors to lie to patients; require people to go to multiple, medically unnecessary appointments; require tougher standards for abortion providers than other health care providers, causing clinics to shut down; and impose restrictive gestational limits that effectively ban all or most abortions.
This panel will discuss:
Current status of abortion rights across the country
Impact in California of federal legislation restricting abortion access
State legislative efforts to expand abortion access in California
Broader implications for reproductive and economic justice in California
Racist impact that will fall heavily on poorer women of color
Speakers:
Aditi Fuitwala, ACLU SoCal attorney in the LGBTQ, Gender, and Reproductive Justice Project.
John Erickson, Director of Public Affairs, Planned Parenthood Advocacy Project Los Angeles County Action Fund
Sharon Kyle, ACLU SoCal Union Board, ACLU National Board Representative, law professor, Publisher, LA Progressive
Marla Tauscher, Moderator, Pasadena-area attorney.
Paloma Nafarrate, Host, ACLU Pasadena/Foothills Chapter President
