What this episode covers

The California Constitution guarantees abortion access. More people are traveling here to access reproductive health care as their own states pass aggressive laws to prohibit abortion. This episode is a recording of our March 2 live event at the Roxie Theater in San Francisco featuring a conversation with Diana Greene Foster and Mariana Horne about the current state of reproductive health care in the United States. The panel followed a showing of the short film "Red, White and Blue" and the documentary "Trump's War on Women."
