Panel Discussion: New York's Abortion Law - Are We Really Protected?

Are we really protected by New York's abortion law? As federal protections of abortion access are weakened, New York's leading reproductive rights organizations have been asking this question. The Bush administration has filled the courts with ultra-conservative judges that have made devastating decisions regarding women's health. The Supreme Court's unprecedented move to uphold the federal abortion ban last April was a wake-up call that we must fight to ensure that New York continues to protect and respect a woman's ability to make private reproductive health care decisions. Please join us and our distinguished panel to discuss where New York's law stands now and how we can ensure New York remains a beacon for women's health and safety. Featured Speakers: Richard F. Daines, M.D., New York State Health Commissioner Kelli Conlin, President, NARAL Pro-Choice New York Galen Sherwin, Reproductive Rights Project Director, New York Civil Liberties Union Gillian Dean, M.D., Associate Medical Director of Clinical Research and Training, Planned Parenthood of New York City The Rev.
