EP 670 Abortion Rights Take Center Stage in American Politics

July 05, 2023

By revisiting her mother’s central role in helping write and push through the first anti-abortion bill in America in New York State, our guest Felicia Kornbluh , author of “A Woman’s Life is a Human Life” has a unique perspective on where the fight for reproductive rights goes from here, now that it falls to states once again. In our wide ranging conversation we discuss a unique twist to her mother’s story as a leader in the movement against sterilization abuse lived right down the hall from her mother, yet their two women’s health crusades never intersected. She feels that this was a mistake and the women’s rights movement today needs to represent a broader coalition, encompassing more issues. It comes at a time when even the Equal Rights Amendment, never passed, is once again being discussed and, perhaps, revived.
