MORE THAN A MAGAZINE, A MOVEMENT
Join the Conversation: Why Abortion Is Essential to Democracy—and Democracy Is Essential for Reproductive Justice [[link removed]]

Last November, Ms . partnered with the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU Law to create a ground-breaking microsite: “Abortion Is Essential to Democracy.” Our two organizations initiated the project immediately after Texas law S.B. 8 went into effect and following the Supreme Court’s first (of many to come) egregious ruling allowing its enforcement. Experts from across the Brennan Center articulated a response to reflect on the myriad demo­cratic dysfunc­tions that have helped erode abortion rights in Amer­ica.
Now we are following up with a live discussion co-hosted by Ms . and the Brennan Center [[link removed]] , along with NYU Law’s Birnbaum Women’s Leadership Network. Panelists will dig deep on key questions raised in the series:
*
How
should
we
consid­er
parallel
affronts
to
participation
and
representation—the
wave
of
voting
restrictions
and
outsize
role
of
big
money
in
polit­ics?
*
Can
we
look
to
state
courts
to
provide
new
avenues
in
the
aftermath
of
the
Supreme
Court’s
Dobbs
ruling?
*
What
are
the
legal
and
soci­etal
impacts
of
crim­in­al­iz­ing
preg­nancy
and
abor­tion,
espe­cially
on
communit­ies
of
color?

We look forward to having a robust virtual audience and a timely conversation about why abortion is essential to democracy—and democracy is essential for reproductive justice.
As we remarked in the original series: “By formally joining our voices, we hope to demonstrate that the fight for abortion rights, the fight for equality, and the fight for representative democracy are all in service of the same goal: justice for all.”
