Discussion: Jennifer Roesch “Fighting for Reproductive Freedom”

For decades, reproductive freedoms in the United States have been diminishing
and abortion providers attacked. The recent murder of Dr. George Tiller sadly
highlights the need for a re-invigorated pro-choice movement. Please join

contributor to the “International Socialist Review.”
