An inclusive educational and experiential community conversation will be held on Oct. 1 to ponder the context and implications of the U.S. Supreme Court’s reversal of the Roe v. Wade decision in June. The Court’s ruling overturned the constitutional right to abortion that had been in effect since 1973, handing over that decision to the states.
The event’s collaborators include Catalysts for Civil Community Conversations ( catalystforconversations@gmail.com ) and the Santa Barbara County Psychological Association. (www.sbcpa.org)
The day-long symposium will begin with educational sessions to provide facts about abortion within the context of six key subject areas:
· Medical
· Historical
· Legal
· Sociological/Psychological
· Economic
· Theological
