Amanda M Becker (Ms)

Recording this moment in our history is a form of bearing witness to that shared trauma, writes Amanda Becker on hearing the news Roe vs. Wade was overturned. Becker wrote "You Must Stand Up, The Fight for Abortion Rights" for history's sake. Her research took her back to the Romans and on to today in Arizona. The pages include an eye-opening discussion with a family-planning doctor trying to understand why a state where 64% of people believe abortion should be legal had some of the most restrictive abortion laws in the country. 

Freedoms Under Fire

In this session, authors Amanda Becker, David Daley and Jonathan Turley will discuss some of the First Amendment freedoms that are now under fire. Voting rights, abortion access, and threats to free speech should give them plenty to talk about.
