Controlling Women: A WRRAP Webinar on the Fight to Save Reproductive Freedom

Reproductive rights in this country are being rewritten in real time, and the people best equipped to explain what’s actually happening, and what to do about it, are the ones who’ve spent their careers in this fight. Join WRRAP for a live conversation with Kathryn Kolbert and Julie F. Kay, authors of Controlling Women: What We Must Do Now to Save Reproductive Freedom, as they unpack the legal and political battle over women’s bodies and lay out a concrete path forward.

Kolbert is no stranger to this fight. She argued Planned Parenthood v. Casey before the U.S. Supreme Court, the case that defined the constitutional landscape of abortion rights for a generation. Kay has spent decades litigating reproductive rights cases both domestically and internationally. Together, they bring a rare combination of legal precision and hard-won strategic insight to a moment that calls for both.

The conversation will be moderated by Emiliana Guereca, founder of the Women’s March Foundation, and followed by a Q&A led by Sandra Fluke, the attorney and advocate who became a national voice for reproductive rights after her 2012 congressional testimony on contraception coverage.

What to expect:

– A clear-eyed breakdown of how we got here, and what’s actually at stake going forward
– Concrete strategies for defending reproductive freedom at the state and federal level
– A live audience Q&A with two of the movement’s sharpest legal minds

This isn’t a webinar to half-watch in the background. It’s a working session with the people writing the playbook for what comes next.
