JANUARY 22, 2015PAT MAGINNISLEAVE A COMMENT

On this, the 46th anniversary of the historic Roe v Wade decision, reproductive justice for women in the U.S. faces greater threats than ever before. Nearly 50 years ago, Pat and the Army of Three, wary of any legal limit on abortion care, anticipated this battle. Their comprehensive, radical strategies are now essential knowledge for young women today as they rise to take control of their bodies and their lives. In a connected world, our new generation of reproductive rights activists are fierce and well armed for the fight to come.

Four years ago, in commemmoration of this historic anniversary, Pat wrote:

Today, there are massive demonstrations to end abortion as part of women’s normal health care. But throughout the country, women who prize their bodily agency, along with the men who trust them, are taking to the streets to defend our legal rights and end this taboo. Let’s speak out to free women from the stranglehold of religious interference with our bodies.

And tonight, Women’s Health Specialists, Far Northern California’s only independent reproductive rights provider, salute these sheroes of the future and the past as they host their annual celebration of Roe v. Wade, at Armando’s Gallery House, 1350 Butte St. in Redding, CA. 6-8pm. Come join us in sisterhood and solidarity!
