INSIDE THE PRO-CHOICE MOVEMENTThursday, March 15, 2007
Produced by Emily Howard of KPFA in Berkeley, CA
Music:
"The Grind" by Erykah Badu and Dead Prez
"My Freedom of Choice" by Ani DiFranco
This week on Sprouts we feature "Movements," an investigative news magazine produced by Emily Howard at KPFA-Pacifica, in Berkeley, CA. Devoted to social movements, it is an attempt to further our understandings of movements and bridge "the gaps" between movements.
The program begins with movement headlines with updates from four different social movements around the globe. "The Grind" by Erykah Badu and Dead Prez is featured in the music break.
Then we feature the pro-choice movement. Thirty years after Roe vs. Wade conservative personal politics threaten a woman's right to choice.
We are joined by Lindsey Roitman from South Dakota Campaign for Healthy Families. Host Emily Howard discusses the recent abortion ban defeated by South Dakota voters and the long term implications this group will have in the state. Music: "My Freedom of Choice" by Ani DiFranco
Then we travel to San Francisco where host Emily Howard speaks with the campaign director of the No on 85 efforts in the Bay Area. Proposition 85 was a parental notification initiative defeated by California voters.
