YWCA and PLANNED PARENTHOOD PARTNERSHIP!!!

This spring, the YWCA of Bellingham and Mt. Baker Planned Parenthood will partner to present a free brown-bag lunch series. The first event – a discussion of Griswold v. Connecticut may interest WS students. This was the Supreme Court case that legalized contraception for married couples – and is the case that our other reproductive rights are based on. In addition, it is the case that helped defeat modern “anti-sodomy” laws. It’s very exciting and very relevant!
