Join the American Association of University Women (AAUW) Austin Branch and the League of Women Voters of the Austin Area (LWVAA) at the AFS theater for a screening of the documentary film Zurawski v Texas followed by a talk-back panel featuring lead plaintiff Amanda Zurawski; Chief Operating and Medical Services Director for Planned Parenthood Dr. Amna Dermish; and State Representative Donna Howard, a leader in the Texas Legislature on women's health policy, nursing, and accountable government.
Women denied abortions under Texas' ambiguous and unforgiving abortion laws band together with a fearless attorney to sue the State of Texas. While battling in court against the state and its immovable Attorney General, the extent of their traumatic experiences is revealed as they wrestle to regain their reproductive futures and set a precedent for millions of other women and families. Zurawski v Texas reveals the dire impact of losing access to healthcare -- and the extraordinary efforts of the women and men fighting on the front lines to regain those rights.
