At the event, “Life Without Roe v. Wade” — a Supreme Court decision that found that unduly restrictive state regulation of abortion is unconstitutional — speakers included Susan Bone O’Brien of Jefferson County Public Health on access to family planning; Kate Kelly of the state Attorney General’s Office on implications if Roe v Wade is overturned; survivor stories from the days before Roe v. Wade; and a facilitated community discussion.
