February 26 Meetup – Abortion History and Video Discussion

On Monday, February 26, 7:00 pm, at the Mid-County Library Branch, 7821 Maryland Avenue, we will meet to view the video, “Deciding Vote”. This NewYorker.com short documentary reconstructs the moral dilemma associated with the passage of the 1970 New York law that made that state a “pre-Rowe vs Wade” sanctuary for legal abortion.  Join us to share the video and our group reaction to it.  We will have some refreshments before the video. Please let us know you are coming through our MeetUp page but come in any case. Trivia question: “Which state was first to pass legislation legalizing abortion in the 1970s?”

The initiative petition seeking to get the Missouri abortion ban rescinded will be available to sign at the meeting.  [This effort is not connected to our own AU suit against the state of Missouri, which would determine the ban to be unconstitutional because it infringes on religious freedom.]
