SUMMARY:February Membership CLE
DESCRIPTION:February is Sexual and Reproductive Health Awareness Month. Please join us on February 19\, 2025\, for Abortion Bans\, Criminal Law\, and Pregnancy Prosecution in Texas\, presented by the Sissy Farenthold Reproductive Justice Defense Project. Texas’s criminalization of abortion has created new questions at the intersection of criminal law and healthcare access. The ramifications and extent of these laws are still being litigated and lived in Texas. This presentation will cover the important statutory provisions and the most current case law to dispel misinformation and disinformation that exists. We will also share information about Texas prosecutions we are tracking. \nThe presenters are: \nBlake Rocap is the director of the Sissy Farenthold Reproductive Justice Defense Project [wkq4tmkab.cc.rs6.net] at the Bernard and Audre Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice housed at Texas Law.

He and his wife have lived in Austin for almost thirty years with a succession of labradors and their two daughters who are now inexplicably teenagers. \nCristina I.
