Roe v. Wade with Marianne Williamson

Naked with Cari Champion - A podcast by The Black Effect and iHeartPodcasts - Mondays

Categories:

Younger women who weren’t born or active during a time when abortion was legal, don’t have a reference to the pre-Roe vs Wade era. But what is it? What is Roe vs Wade and why is overturning it causing such an upset? Roe v. Wade is the name of the lawsuit that led to the landmark 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision establishing a constitutional right to abortion in the United States.  Ok, now that you know, do we have to explain why overturning it has created great concern not just for women's rights, but for the legal right of same-sex marriage, Trans rights, and perhaps civil rights as well. Marianne Williamson is a passionately pro-choice woman who has previously run for political office and is a member of the Democratic Party.  She is a bestselling author, political activist, and spiritual thought leader. She joins us on this episode of, Naked to expound on the differences between the political parties and the repercussions of the decision to change this existing law.  She reminds us that it is ok to feel discouraged; there are enough hours in the day to cry, but there is also time to kick ass and get up and do something towards making legislative change.
