Elizabeth Talmont
Chief Project Officer
Planned Parenthood - Northern, Central, Southern New Jersey
Advocates in New Jersey and beyond are bracing for increased attacks by decisively anti-reproductive health legislators across the country who are advancing cases to challenge the right to safe, legal abortion at the U.S. Supreme Court. With the high court stacked with anti-abortion justices, the historic Roe v. Wade decision has been overturned or rendered meaningless, states have legislated access to abortion, with many making it illegal.
Elizabeth has been on the front lines of safe, legal access for decades.
