Council of Feminist Thought takes a look at abortion ban bills

In our recurring panel discussion segment, "Council of Feminist Thought," we look at and analyse current events through a Feminist lens. In the past several months several States (including Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Ohio) have passed abortion ban bills that place higher restrictions on abortion that Roe vs. Wade ruling allows. In several cases, these bills outlaw abortion almost entirely, coming into a direct violation of the historic Supreme Court ruling. Proponents are counting on these bills to be challenged in court and move all the way up to the now conservative leaning Supreme Court, in hopes that Roe vs. Wade be overturned. We discuss the implications of these bills and women's reproductive healthcare. Joining the Council this week are Coya Paz and Veronica Arreola. Coya Paz is an Associate Professor at The Theatre School at DePaul University, and Artistic Director at Free Street Theater. Veronica Arreola is a professional Feminist, owner of the blog "Viva la Feminista," and Director of L@s GANAS at UIC. The Morning AMp airs weekdays 8-10 AM on Vocalo Radio 91.1 FM (Chi) and streaming at vocalo.org
