"Who Counts as a Person? Women, Wombs, and Project 2025"

Lynn Paltrow's talk “Who Counts as a Person? Women, Wombs, and Project 2025,” on Wednesday October 16 at 2pm in Law School Room 291, is co-sponsored by the Department of Gender and Women’s Studies and the J. Rosenberg College of Law. 

Lynn M. Paltrow, JD, is a feminist lawyer who founded Pregnancy Justice (formerly National Advocates for Pregnant Women). 

Last fall the campus faced demonstrators and speakers who claimed that “women are property” and asked, “what is a woman?” This fall we are making space on our campus for equal time for scholarly analysis that does not presume that a woman is property or a “what” instead of “who.” 

For more than 30 years, Ms. Paltrow pioneered legal advocacy that acknowledged how abortion and pregnancy are not separate issues. Come and learn how all people with the capacity for pregnancy – not just those seeking to end a pregnancy – are harmed by the loss of Roe v Wade and what we can do about it now.
