1/30 - Forum: Abortion Rights & the Struggle for Women's Liberation

[Orlando Sepulveda]

circulate widely Abortion Rights & the Struggle for Women's Liberation with Sharon Smith, author of Women & Socialism: Essays on Women's Liberation http://www.haymarketbooks.org/pb/Women-and-Socialism-Essays-on-Womens-Liberation Sat., January 30th, 7pm Acme Art Works at Old St. Paul's  2215 W. North Ave., Chicago, IL January 22nd marks the 37th anniversary of legal abortion in the United States. The Roe v Wade decision, which legalized abortion, marked a tremendous victory for the Women's Liberation movement. Under persistent attack, access to abortion has steadily eroded - 87% of U.S. counties currently have no abortion providers. The Stupak Amendment included in the recent healthcare bill will continue the ban on any federal funding for abortion. We need a new women's rights movement that unapologetically defends a woman's right to choose. Sharon Smith explains the socialist strategy for fighting women's oppression today. http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=253268235777&ref=ts http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=61735140279&ref=ts www.socialistworker.org www.isreview.org
