Speakers: Dr. Ellen Clayton and Dr. Nancy Lipsitz.
Dr. Clayton and Dr. Lipsitz shared background on the SCOTUS ruling as well as the triggering of the Tennessee Human Life Protection Act and discussed the legal barriers placed on health professionals providing life-saving, comprehensive and confidential care. Our speakers were also able to address the public confusion around what types of contraception are acceptable and which aren’t in states where laws ban all abortions after conception and the legal and legislative strategies that could be employed to reverse the criminalization of medical procedures.
