Monday, June 10, 2019: Preparing for Post-Roe America

Find the book at your local book store, on-line
or ask your library to order it.

Kate Raphael of KPFA Women's Magazine speaks with Robin Marty, author of Handbook for a Post-Roe America about what we should be doing to prepare for the end of Roe. Robin says we should look at it as an opportunity to build a stronger movement and improve access to all health care options for all women, and suggests concrete ways we can do that.

Support and protect abortion access and funding groups if you can't get pregnant, make an abortion plan if you can. Here's how:

ACCESS: Women's Health Justice -provides a range of abortion services including housing for those recovering from later abortion (after 15 weeks).
National Network of Abortion Funds -reproductive justice group run by women of color and queer women.
  Find a fund
  Need an abortion
Aid Access -medication abortion

Monday, November 28, 2016: Protecting Health Justice, the Environment and Ourselves in a Time of Crisis and Fear

Remembering Jean Pauline

We remember feminist, anarchist and labor activist and organizer, Jean Pauline who died last week at age 95. A memorial is being planned for January to celebrate Jean's life.

Next up we interview Layidua Salazar on abortion and protecting reproductive rights.

Reproductive and women's health rights are certain to be under attack under a Trump/Pence White House and Republican controlled Congress. As Republicans have come to dominate state houses across the country, California remains a relative bright spot, but many women still are unable to access the wide range of services that exist. ACCESS Women's Health Justice and the National Network of Abortion Funds are among the organizations working to ensure that women can exercise their rights to have or not have children and receive the health care they choose. We speak with Layidua Salazar, board member of ACCESS Women's Health Justice. Check out their website for information and to sign up for ACCESS newsletter.

Monday, June 20, 2016: Reproductive Health and Trans/Feminist Conflict

Becoming Trans Inclusive

Today on KPFA Radio's Women's Magazine we will look at a current issue in the conflict that's been brewing between the feminist and trans community for many years.  We will  hear a talk by UC Berkeley Professor Wendy Brown on the war between some larger reproductive rights groups and with trans activists that demand that reproductive groups  drop the word "woman" and replace it  with "reproductive autonomy for all people" because using the word "woman" can exclude trans men from inclusion in reproductive language. Find the complete videos of Professor Brown's lecture, Women Dissolved or Defended? The Naming Debate in Reproductive Freedom at Symposium: Feminist Change and the University.
