Join LRRP and Columbia Law's If/When/How at Columbia Law School’s Jerome Greene Hall #101 for an in-person screening of the groundbreaking documentary Preconceived: The Unexpected World of Crisis Pregnancy Centers.

The screening will be followed by an expert panel featuring Jenifer McKenna, Senior Advisor at Reproductive Health & Freedom Watch, Tara Murtha, journalist and gender justice advocate, and Dr. Christine Ryan, Associate Director of Reproductive Rights & Religion here at LRRP. Tara and Jenifer are co-authors of Designed to Deceive, a 2021 report on the first multi-state study of crisis pregnancy centers.

Join attorneys from Footsteps and award-winning author Abby Stein for a discussion of the legal challenges that can arise when a parent transitions out of an ultra-Orthodox Jewish community. We will learn about Footsteps' work maintaining children's bonds with both parents--across religious difference--within New York courts and family law. Kosher lunch will be provided. 

This event is hosted by CLS's Secularism Society and co-sponsored by the Law, Rights & Religion Project and the Progressive Jewish Law Society.
