SUMMARY:Democracy and Women’s Rights: Abortion\, Political Representation
  & the 2024 Elections
DESCRIPTION:Over 60 percent of Americans support abortion access\, but last
  year constitutional abortion rights were overturned and many states now b
 an abortion in most circumstances. States with high levels of gerrymanderi
 ng and voter suppression are the same states that have banned abortion and
  in other ways limit women’s rights—these states also have highly male
 -dominated legislatures. In this talk\, Smith College Professor Carrie Bak
 er will argue that democracy and women’s rights are intimately intertwin
 ed\, that women’s rights and representation are a barometer of democracy
 \, and the erosion of women’s rights is a canary in the coal mine of a d
 ying democracy.\n\nWatch the livestream!\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/live/f
