On April 11, a "Spotlight on the Abortion Rights Emergency" program was held at the Women's Building in San Francisco’s Mission District. The event brought together professors, providers, artists, activists, the voices of women from both pre and post Roe v. Wade generations, and an audience of 60 people. Stop Patriarchy presented this evening of important voices from different perspectives, coming together to lay bare the true state of emergency facing abortion rights, and the need for determined mass resistance and reclaiming the moral high ground: Abortion on Demand and Without Apology! and Forced Motherhood is Female Enslavement!
This is the recording of that program, and speakers include:
- Dr. Malcolm Potts, an eminent reproductive scientist and scholar who has done extensive work in the Third World
- Kelly Hammargren, curator of a recent prestigious art show about abortion rights and abortion stories
- Somer Loen, president of SF NOW (National Organization for Women)
- Rachel Martin, history professor
- Alexandria Petersburg, a Stop Patriarchy leader
and others who tell their abortion stories and speak to the abortion rights emergency.
