From insurance coverage of contraception to racial and economic disparities of available health care, the contemporary landscape of reproductive justice is vast and mine-filled with conflict, rhetoric, polarization and anger from all sides of the issue.
Katha Pollitt, writer of the "Subject to Debate" column for The Nation has been "hailed for her brilliance, wit, and great insight into politics, social issues, and women's rights." Her most recent book, "Pro: Reclaiming Abortion Rights," makes a powerful argument for abortion as a moral right and social good. Pollitt will be interviewed by WBEZ's Natalie Moore for this important, inclusive discussion on reproductive justice, personal freedoms, gender and culture.
