Film Screening: No Más Bebés
Thursday, March 3rd at 6:10pm-8pm. SLB Room 127. Dinner served.
From Oscar-nominated filmmakers: the gripping story of Mexican immigrant women and their fight for reproductive justice after they were sterilized while giving birth at Los Angeles County Hospital. Alongside a young Chicana lawyer and a whistle-blowing doctor, they filed a landmark lawsuit asserting their right to bear children under Roe v. Wade. Come learn about this hidden history.
Join us for the documentary’s screening and a discussion led by Professor Khiara M. Bridges. Professor Bridges is Visiting Professor of Law at Yale Law School where she teaches a seminar on critical race theory. Professor Bridges specializes in reproductive justice and is the author of the book, Reproducing Race: An Ethnography of Pregnancy as a Site of Racialization (University of California Press, 2011).
Sponsored by the Latino Law Students Association, Yale Law Students for Reproductive Justice, Program for the Study of Reproductive Justice, and the Lillian Goldman Law Library.
