[link removed] [[link removed]]
BY CARRIE N. BAKER | Last November, Ms. partnered with the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU Law to create a ground-breaking microsite: “Abortion Is Essential to Democracy.” Join us tomorrow for a special event streaming from NPR’s studio in New York City.
Panelists will dig deep on key questions:

consid­er
parallel
affronts
to
participation

*

to

courts
to
provide
new
avenues
in

of

Supreme
Court’s
Dobbs
ruling?
*

are

legal
and
soci­etal
impacts
of
crim­in­al­iz­ing
preg­nancy
and
abor­tion,
espe­cially
on
communit­ies
of
color?
