Happy 4th of July! Keep Supporting Reproductive Rights!
Web Correspondent Emily explains the importance of supporting reproductive rights as we celebrate our freedom this Independence Day.
On the Fourth of July, we celebrate our country's independence and democracy. Living in America is a great privilege. We have many rights and protections under our government. For the last 35 years, we've had the promise of safe, legal abortion. Roe may not have realized its full potential, yet (many women struggle to find a doctor, afford the procedure and keep the state from meddling in their lives) there is still plenty to celebrate when it comes to reproductive rights.

LOCAL EVENTS
Book Discussion
Fargo native and pro choice author Jennifer Baumgardner will be in Fargo for a book discussion and signing of her newest release Abortion and Life.
Why:
Abortion is a taboo topic in American culture. It is not something talked about at the dinner table; not usually discussed until necessary either because of a personal need or a political push i.e. legislation banning the procedure. Baumgardner bring us together to hear the voices of women, everyday women, who have experienced abortion and talk openly about that experience.
When:
Monday, July 28 at 6:30pm
A wine & cheese reception will follow at 7:30 pm hosted by Greenmarket Catering.
Where:
Zandbroz Variety
420 N. Broadway
Fargo, ND
PPMNS would like to thank the co-sponsors of the event Zandbroz Variety, ND Human Rights Coalition & Women’s Network of Red River Valley.
