On The Issues With Michele Goodwin The End of Roe v. Wade? (With Dorothy Roberts)
Today’s show is all about reproductive health, rights and justice. We are unpacking the Texas abortion law, S.B. 8, talking about the Supreme Court, and what the legacies of legislative interference with reproductive decision-making and autonomy mean for women, people who can become pregnant, and for U.S. democracy.
We’re diving right in with a very special guest and pioneer in the reproductive justice movement and thought leader on reproductive health and rights:
Professor Dorothy Roberts, author of Killing the Black Body, Shattered Bonds and the forthcoming page-turner, Torn Apart: How the Child Welfare System Destroys Black Families—and How Abolition Can Build a Safer World. She is the George A. Weiss University professor of law and sociology, the Raymond Pace and Sadie Tanner Mossell Alexander professor of civil rights, as well as a professor of Africana studies at the University of Pennsylvania, where she also serves as the director of the Program on Race, Science and Society.
