Pro-Choice: An Interview Series
As Jewish feminists, we are deeply frustrated and disappointed by the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision on the Dobbs v. Jackson case to overturn the Roe v. Wade ruling.

Our hope is that this collection of interviews gives insight into some of the faces and perspectives behind the issue of reproductive rights.
