Jan. 22, 2025, from 6-8pm (tentative)- Preconceived screening: In partnership with the RI Abortion Fund, we are screening the film Preconceived on the anniversary of the landmark Roe vs. Wade ruling that legalized abortion care in the US (which was recently struck down by the US Supreme Court). Where does someone turn when facing an unplanned pregnancy? Preconceived tells the stories of Maleeha and Maria, two women who, while navigating unplanned pregnancies, inadvertently found themselves at facilities discouraging them from abortions. The film is a window in to these enigmatic centers that some call “pregnancy resource centers” and others call “fake clinics.” The film underscores the significance of understanding the resources available to pregnant people.
