Lynn Paltrow Teaches: Reproductive Rights & Resistance (Part 2)

In the second and final session of a class taught for The Beacon for Democracy (BeaconForDemocracy.org), Lynn Paltrow, JD, examines the profound human and legal consequences of the Dobbs decision, reframing the act of seeking an abortion as a powerful form of "mass civil disobedience". Lynn challenges the Supreme Court's claim that reproductive rights are not "deeply rooted" in American history, arguing instead that the 13th and 14th Amendments were specifically designed to guarantee bodily autonomy and rectify the "sexual exploitation" and "forced labor" of enslaved black women. Lynn documents the emergence of "maternity care deserts" and the rising rates of infant and maternal mortality following state bans, yet she offers a message of resilience. From the "illegal public health" work of distributing medication abortion to the resurgence of the Clergy Consultation Service, this video previews how modern resistance echoes the moral courage of those who fought before Roe. Finally, Lynn reminds us that while no one can do everything, everyone can do something (as Beacon for Democracy Director Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum likes to say!) to ensure pregnancy remains a state of dignity rather than state-controlled regulation.
