Reproductive Rights, Overturning Roe, and Sesame Street


Listen Later

Reproductive freedom is in grave danger across the United States. Experts predict that it is not a question of if Roe will be overturned this year, but rather when.

Kathryn Kolbert is one of the most influential reproductive rights attorneys in the country. Julie Kay is a passionate human rights attorney who came up under the mentorship of Kitty at the Center for Reproductive Rights. Collectively, these women are two of the most aggressive and accomplished defenders of reproductive rights around the world. They join Sabrina Merage Naim to talk about:

  • Kitty’s 1992 appearance before the U.S. Supreme Court
  • Julie’s successful argument before the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights
  • What we need to do to protect reproductive rights across the country when Roe is overturned

We also discuss their newest book, Controlling Women: What We Must Do Now to Save Reproductive Freedom. Sign up for our newsletter full of episode updates and resources on issues impacting women around the world.
