On June 24, the Supreme Court made the historic decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, ending the federal right to an abortion and initiating trigger bans and other limits on abortion in about half of all U.S. states. This unprecedented loss of a fifty-year right has put pregnant people and others in need of reproductive care in peril across the country, and the ensuing headlines can feel paralyzing. Many of us are struggling with a seemingly endless list of questions. What exactly does the loss of Roe mean for me in my state? What does it mean for my friends and relatives elsewhere in the country? How can I help others and ensure that my own rights and privacy are protected? While New York’s abortion access rights remain intact thanks to the Reproductive Health Act of 2019, the repercussions of this decision will still impact virtually every person with a uterus, and we want to help you come up with a game plan.

At LM Live’s September Women’s Breakfast, join NYC’s top experts on reproductive rights for a conversation about what the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization means from a legal, activist and practitioner perspective. Join us in conversation with experts from Planned Parenthood, the Birnbaum Women’s Leadership Network at NYU Law and NYC Health + Hospitals to get a better understanding of the many implications of the Dobbs v. Jackson decision and what you can do to stay informed and safe while fighting for the rights of fellow women and allies everywhere.
