With SB8 in Texas and challenges to Roe v. Wade in the Supreme Court, abortion rights are in jeopardy in much of the United States. Join us for the latest in our Feminist Queer Praxis series to learn about abortion care here in Chicago from multiple perspectives and learn about the possibility of integrating reproductive rights in your future career. We’ll be joined by abortion provider Neha Bhardwaj, MD MS, from UChicago Medicine’s Ryan Center and Qudsiyyah Shariyf (BA ’19, GNSE minor) of the Chicago Abortion Fund. Neha is a board certified obstetrician-gynecologist with subspecialty training in Complex Family Planning and a passionate advocate for comprehensive reproductive health care. Her research interests include contraceptive counseling and consent, and access to abortion and contraception. Qudsiyyah is a fierce advocate for reproductive justice and a full-spectrum birthworker. As the Program Manager with Chicago Abortion Fund she oversees the helpline that directly connects hundreds of people to abortion care through financial, logistical, and emotional support.
