Rick Scott Wants to Restrict Women's Reproductive Freedom
A new conservative push to decrease women's reproductive autonomy is gaining steam across the nation. Laws requiring women to wait a period of time before receiving an abortion create an undue burden and economic hardship on women, and especially the economically disenfranchised. The Florida Legislature recently passed such a bill and it sits on Governor Rick Scott's desk waiting to be signed into law. Join this week's guest host Human-Citizen Christine Sylvain for an in-depth analysis on this civil rights issue. Our guests tonight include: Diane Price Herndl, Women's and Gender Studies Professor at University of South Florida; Kelli Garcia, Senior Counsel at the National Women's Law Center; Kelly Blanchard, President of Ibis Reproductive Health; and Jessica Milli of the Institute for Women's Policy Research. To make your voice heard, please call Rick Scott at (850) 488-7146 to let him know to keep politics out of women's health decisions.
