Please join Law Students for Reproductive Justice, the Reproductive Health Access Project, Sea Change, and the National Institute for Reproductive Health for a screening of the newly released award-winning documentary TRAPPED followed by a panel.
Since 2010, 288 laws regulating abortion providers have been passed by state legislatures. In total, 44 states and the District of Columbia have measures subjecting abortion providers to legal restrictions not imposed on medical professionals. Unable to comply with these far-reaching and medically unnecessary laws, clinics have taken their fight to the courts.
As the United States Supreme Court decides in 2016 whether individual states may essentially outlaw abortion in Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt, TRAPPED follows clinic workers and lawyers who are on the front lines of the battle to keep abortion safe and legal for millions of American women.
