Iowa City Public Library- Meeting Rm. D 7:00-9:00pm Indo-Canadian Director, Punam Kumar Gill, felt that questioning anything around abortion was a treason to her feminist identity. But when she heard that the health information being given to women was subject to the politics of the people involved, and that 50 million women worldwide (1 in 3 in America) could be affected annually, she determined to take an honest and comprehensive look at this controversial subject. She trudged through the highly volatile and politicized research around abortions' disputed connections with breast cancer, premature birth, and psychological problems and what she discovered in the process is not just vital to the subject of abortion, but also critical to her own life, and integral to the ongoing progress of women everywhere. |
