Join us on Sunday, August 28th at 10am for "Now That it’s Over: Reproductive Justice in Texas After Dobbs"
In June 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, concluding that there was no constitutional right to an abortion. This decision allowed TX's extreme anti-abortion legislation to go into effect almost immediately, limiting Texans' ability to obtain an abortion in practically all circumstances. This presentation will discuss the current legal landscape of abortion and reproductive rights in Texas and its present and future impacts on peoples' lives. It will also explore how we move forward as a community to not only protect a person's right to obtain an abortion, but also to build, or transition to a different legal, political, and cultural landscape to create a truly just and more equitable Texas for all.
Melissa Thrailkill will be in our pulpit. Melissa describes herself as a lawyer and a lover of music, fashion, coffee, politics and running for days.
Please note:In addition to gathering in the Sanctuary, this service will be livestreamed on Zoom at 10:00 am, and will be available for viewing on Monday on Facebook and YouTube, as well as on our website.
