NCJW BCS ATTENDS ROE v. WADE COMMEMORATIVE EVENT

In February NCJW BCS members attended NCJW Essex County Section’s Roe v. Wade Commemorative Event “Ending the Stigma of Abortion.” The program featured Lady Parts Justice League and its founder Lizz Winstead, co-creator and head writer of the Daily Show. NCJW BCS was proud to co-sponsor this outstanding event. Here are a few of the many take-aways.. Abortion is not just a women’s issue; it’s everyone’s issue. Abortion is safe, legal and necessary; it’s healthcare.
