The fight around abortion access has once again made it to the U.S. Supreme Court. And around the country, abortion liberation activists are unpacking what a ruling overturning Roe v. Wade or rolling back access could mean for the landscape of abortion health care.

On this episode of Speaking Freely, we are joined by Elicia Gonzales, executive director of the Abortion Liberation Fund of PA, formerly known as the Women’s Medical Fund, and Lizbeth Rodriguez, community engagement coordinator for the Philadelphia Women’s Centers. They discuss how restrictions are currently impacting their work, the need for funding and community support, how abortion restrictions are rooted in white supremacy, and how their organizations are adapting and preparing so that they can continue to fight for abortion liberation across Pennsylvania.

This episode was hosted by Cambriae Lee, ACLU-PA marketing and brand manager, and Julie Zaebst, ACLU-PA senior policy advocate.
