On January 12, 2021 the United States Supreme Court's decision in the matter of FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION, ET AL. v. AMERICAN COLLEGE OF OBSTETRICIANS AND GYNECOLOGISTS, ET AL. was another setback for pregnant people and reproductive justice. Join us in conversation with Dr. Carrie Baker and Massachusetts Senator Becca Rausch to unpack the decision and learn what needs to happen next to protect access to reproductive healthcare. Donald Trump packed the Supreme Court with anti-abortion judges, and his administrative appointments were made with an eye to carry out anti-abortion policies. Mifepristone is the only drug out of 20,000 drugs approved by the FDA to be singled out to require in-person pick up. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it is unmistakable that the regulation is written to add a barrier to access to abortion.

Listen in as Senator Chandler debriefs from the historic Massachusetts legislative session that passed provisions of the ROE Act - including a rollback on parental consent and judicial bypass. Chandler was determined to make progress, despite the pandemic, and shares her views on the role played by active individuals. Senator Chandler has persisted over multiple legislative sessions to secure access to abortion for those who need it, and provides a glimpse into what remains to be tackled (hint: addressing racial disparities in healthcare, exp. maternal health, and supporting healthy sex education for minors).

Listen in as supporters of the Red Cloaks and the ROE Act discuss the historic victory of December 29, 2020, when the Massachusetts Senate voted to join colleagues in the state's House of Representatives to override Governor Baker's veto of legislation that expands access to abortion in the Commonwealth. The legislation began as the ROE Act, and was altered over the 24 month session. It updates state laws, expands access for those who receive a fatal fetal diagnosis after the 24th week of pregnancy, allows 16 and 17 year olds to access abortion without parental consent OR judicial permission, adds a scientific and medically accurate basis for legal definitions, and codifies the right to an abortion in state law. While not the full "ROE Act", the legislation is a step forward for reproductive justice. Find us on: twitter, instagram, facebook.
