In the wake of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, the constitutional right to an abortion has been eliminated and nearly all abortions are now banned in the state of Missouri. What does Judaism have to say about abortion, and what role can we play as Jewish Missourians to ensure access to abortion care? We'll study Jewish laws and practices about abortion, hear about what's happening in our state to help people access the care they need, and learn how we can get involved.
Confirmed speakers:
Rabbi Rachel Bearman, Congregation Shaare Emeth
