The decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, while perhaps anticipated, came as devastating news for women across America, especially those who had worked tirelessly and at the risk of arrest and imprisonment to assure the right to safe abortions for all women who sought them.

As the political movement in reaction to the Dobbs decision accelerates today, O’Neill and Associates and Seven Letter believes it is important to use its podcast platform to begin a series on the impacts of Dobbs. The first episode features Susan Webber, Betsy Stengel, and Dr. Jennifer Childs-Roshak.

These three guests discuss their stories of the battles for reproductive rights before and after Roe v. Wade in the early seventies and how the Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts addresses the challenges of providing reproductive health services to women now denied those rights in a growing number of other states. These experiences of the past must be considered when working to meet the challenges we face today.
