Program Description: There is perhaps no political issue more volatile in the United States than abortion, and no Supreme Court ruling that has been under more constant attack than Roe v Wade. State laws have been enacted to restrict abortion, Congress has passed the first-ever ban on abortion procedures, and anti-choice forces are waiting for the Supreme Court to totally overturn Roe. If this were to happen, what would this mean for women in general and women in New York State specifically? Would women be at risk for losing the right to choose? Would New York State need new legislation?

Founded in 1915, the Women's City Club is a nonpartisan, non profit organization working to make New York a better place by shaping public policy and encouraging citizen involvement in government.
