Description
Rosie Jiménez was a Latinx college student who died on October 3, 1977 after she couldn’t pay for a legal abortion and had no choice but to seek out a cheaper, unsafe option. She is considered to be the first person to die after the Hyde Amendment made it illegal for Medicaid to pay for abortions. Recently, the Supreme Court refused to block a draconian anti-abortion law in Texas, highlighting the contempt these judges have for women and human rights. Soon, the Supreme Court will hear Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, a case out of Mississippi that could overturn Roe vs. Wade. Join us for a documentary viewing, followed by a discussion panel and ways to get involved. It took a movement to win abortion and it will take a movement to keep it!
