Below the Belt:
A Conversation about Religion and Reproductive Rights
Religious restrictions to reproductive health care are on the rise. Pharmacists are refusing to stock and dispense birth control pills, hospitals are refusing to snip, clip or tie tubes, and infertility specialists and sperm banks discriminate based on sexual orientation.
Sex is personal. Faith is personal. The personal is political.
Join Traction, Planned Parenthood of Central NC and Jill Morrison of the National Women's Law Center for a conversation about the growing issue of religious restrictions to reproductive health care.
Tuesday, April 11th 8pm Joe & Jo's: 427 W. Main St., Durham (and it's free!)
Jill C. Morrison is Senior Counsel at the NWLC and author of "Don't Take 'No' for an Answer: A Guide to Pharmacy Refusal Laws, Policies and Practices." She speaks with community activists, medical professionals and state officials throughout the nation on strategies to protect and expand access to health care. Her issue areas include STDs and HIV/AIDS, racial and ethnic disparities, socioeconomic status and violence against women. Ms. Morrison is a graduate of Rutgers and Yale Law School, where she was an editor of the Yale Journal of Law and Feminism and President of the Black Law Students' Association.
