For Immediate Release: March 1, 1999

This year's National Conference on Women and the Law, featuring several important sessions focusing on Reproductive Rights, will be held in San Francisco in March.

In a major presentation convened by the CARAL Pro-Choice Education Fund, ACLU-NC staff attorney Margaret Crosby, Ann Daniels of CARAL and others will discuss the challenges and opportunities to reproductive rights a generation after Roe v. Wade. Crosby, the foremost litigator on reproductive rights cases in the state, counts among her major legal victories the securing of Medi-Cal funding for abortion for indigent women and the recent Califronia Supreme Court decision ensuring minors rights to abortion.

Other reproductive rights events include a panel on access to contraceptive services, and showings of the extraordinary, award-winning pro-choice film "From Danger to Dignity."

Over 4,000 participants are expected to attend the conference March 19-22 at the Bill Graham Civic Center Auditorium in San Francisco. The gathering will provide an opportunity for lawyers, judges, law teachers and students, legal workers and others to learn and generate new ideas in their professional, acad emic, political, and personal spheres.

This conference is particularly important as affirmative action is being eroded, the incarceration of mothers is increasing, and the effects of welfare reform on women and children have yet to be seen.
