Zurawski v. Texas Screening
February 2 @ 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm
- Sunday, February 2, 12:30 – 2:30 p.m.
- Zion Lutheran Church, 3606 Beauchamp Blvd, Houston, TX 77009
The Service, Justice, and Diversity Team at Zion Lutheran Church, in partnership with the Justice Advocacy Ministry at Christ the King Lutheran Church, invite you to attend a screening of the documentary film Zurawski v Texas. Zurawski v. Texas follows three Texas women who were denied medically necessary abortion care—Amanda Zurawski, Samantha Casiano, and Dr. Austin Dennard—as they brought their stories and battled their case up to the Texas Supreme Court, with the help of the Center for Reproductive Rights’ Senior Staff Attorney Molly Duane. While their case was not successful, and since its conclusion three pregnant women with complications have died in Texas due to abortions not being provided when needed, the Texas abortion ban can be fixed.
After the screening, join a postcard writing campaign to urge the Texas legislature, now in session, to change the Texas abortion ban so that no women die because their doctor’s hands are tied, and that doctors do not face criminal charges if they end a pregnancy that threatens the mother’s life. Can’t attend the screening but would still like to advocate? Sign a virtual postcard here: https://secure.everyaction.com/IY53ijZ0mkGJvyRqe2O90A2. Postcards are provided by Texas Impact, an interfaith justice advocacy organization based in Austin.
Sandwiches and drinks will be provided at the screening. Please register for planning purposes at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/zurawski-v-texas-screening-tickets-1207222568199.
