Scholar’s Circle - Threats to reproductive and abortion rights

Robin Marty is at ground zero managing a women's clinic in Alabama and involved in lawsuits. She describes what it is like to provide women's reproductive care post-Dobbs.

Greer Donley's paper was cited by the Supreme Court’s dissent in Dobbs.

Carole Joffe has for decades been documenting doctors involved in providing abortion and their struggles.



Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe V. Wade, what are the legal and medical ramifications of the huge geographical swaths of women who have no access to abortion? We discuss reproductive healthcare in a post-Dobbs world. What has it meant for the medical profession and the ways in which it had to alter some of the ways healthcare is provided? How have women sought to secure access to abortion in the areas of the country where it is not legal? Mifepristone, the medicine used to terminate pregnancy, faces severe challenges and restrictions. What does this mean for access to medicinal abortion access? What can the areas where it is legal do to help their counterparts in red states?

Equal Rights & Justice with Mimi Rosenberg (from sister station WBAI)

Equal Rights and Justice is joined by Cinque Brath, the Co-Founder and President of the Elombe Brath Foundation to talk about the formation of The African Jazz Arts Society and Studio (AJASS) which spurred the emergence of Black Culture and Identity in the 60s and 70s and gave rise to the Black is Beautiful Revolution, coupling Black Pride and Black Power, that became a world-wide phenomenon, clapping back against the supremacy of Eurocentric aesthetics and values, and which is being recognized with a street naming – “African Jazz Society and Studio Way”



Plus, we’ll attend the 52nd Annual Attica Memorial event organized by The Attica Brothers Foundation – who have been meeting for the last year to create an organization that can help keep the Attica Family intact and active and remind us that in this “incarceration nation” the Attica rebellion is and must be all of us – we’ll hear from Pulitzer Prize winning author of “Blood In The Water” Heather Ann Thompson and the Attica Brothers.
