#13-26 From Danger To Dignity, Part 2: Abortion legalization success, and the new rollback
From Danger to Dignity is a 2-part audio documentary about women’s struggle for abortion rights in the US, culminating in the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court Decision – and then meeting fiercely organized opposition. The audio series is an adaptation of the video documentary of the same name, created as a collaboration between the filmmaker, Dorothy Fadiman, and WINGS series producer Frieda Werden. It covers a wide range of voices, including the movement of supportive clergy. Part 2 includes the voice of now-late Sarah Weddington of Texas, who successfully argued Roe v Wade before the Supreme Court. It also includes an update about the overturn of Roe and sequelae.
Others heard in the series:
Florynce Kennedy, Max Ticktin, Curtis Boyd, Peg Beissert, Huw Anwyl, Howard Moody, Lana Phelan, et al.
