Your Call: How should the pro-choice movement reframe abortion?

  

On the October 14th edition of Your Call, we’ll have a conversation with The Nation columnist KathaPollitt about her new book Pro: Reclaiming Abortion Rights. Forty years after the landmark Roe V Wade ruling, “abortion” is still a word that is said with hostility. In recent years, more than 200 state laws have passed to restrict abortion access. What’s in store for the future of Roe V Wade? Join the conversation on the next Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guests:

Katha Pollitt, essayist, poet, and long-time columnist for The Nation
