Kathryn Kolbert
Kathryn Kolbert is a TED speaker who has written 1 quality-verified book, paired here with their talk.
In 1992, Kathryn Kolbert argued Planned Parenthood v. Casey before the US Supreme Court. It was only her second appearance, but one that has been widely credited with saving Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision protecting a pregnant woman's right to have an abortion. A cofounder of the Center for Reproductive Rights, Kolbert has spent her career working to ensure that all people, wherever they live, whatever their life circumstances, whatever their age or race or LGBTQIA+ status, have the ability to choose whether to be a parent and obtain safe, legal abortions. Perhaps more than anyone, she understands how we got here, what's at stake -- and how the reproductive freedom movement can move forward. A cofounder of the Athena Film Festival, Kolbert also created the Athena Center for Leadership at Barnard College and NPR's Justice Talking.
