Pro-Choice: An Interview Series
As Jewish feminists, we are deeply frustrated and disappointed by the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision on the Dobbs v. Jackson case to overturn the Roe v. Wade ruling. Millions of people lost their right to bodily autonomy on June 24th; these interviews share the views of only a few of them. Our hope is that this collection of interviews gives insight into some of the faces and perspectives behind the issue of reproductive rights.

In 78 vibrant works, 62 jGirls+ teen contributors voice their celebrations and challenges, their anger and their eagerness in essays, poetry, and visual art. The themes are universal, touching on childhood, spirituality, sexuality, race, family, friends, and the world around us.
