Event Description:

Join us in welcoming Kathryn Kolbert as our Fall 2024 speaker for the Ackerman Lecture on Equality and Justice. She will describe the nearly five decades of legal battles around abortion that have brought us to this current moment, when 14 states have total abortion bans, and 27 states have bans based on gestational duration. (Ten states have measures related to abortion rights on their ballots this November.) Kolbert will also describe strategies that she and her co-author, Julie F. Kay, propose to safeguard reproductive rights.
