THIS WEEK on Feminist Magazine with host Lynn Harris Ballen :: FIRST up, Texas’ 6 week abortion ban took effect overnight on November 1st when the Supreme Court chose to remain silent. The law also empowers any random private citizen to sue people who “aid and abet” women & non-binary folks getting abortions – to the tune of 10K +lawyer fees. Activists had been waiting for the SCOTUS decision in the Mississippi clinic case that’s set to be heard next session. But last night’s SCOTUS inaction effectively signaled that the 6-3 conservative majority has no interest in upholding Roe vs Wade, or any constitutional protections, as precedent. We talk to Jessica Mason Pieklo from the Rewire News Group legal team to make sense of it all and to hear ways we can fight back.
AND … Cherise Charleswell talks to Artivist Janet E. Dandridge about her latest award – from the Washington Project for the Arts — and her funded research project “Inquiries on Release and other paths to Liberty” … which focuses on the effects of PTSD on Black women in the U.S.
