original description

On January 20, 2007, Ms. Laura Pemberton generously spoke at the National Summit to Ensure the Health and Humanity of Pregnant and Birthing Women, held in Atlanta, Georgia. The Summit’s supporters and attendees represented one of the most diverse gatherings ever to address issues concerning reproductive health and justice. It was sponsored by National Advocates for Pregnant Women and included more than 60 organizations ranging from advocates for mother-friendly childbirth to those that advocate for the right to choose an abortion. Participants moved beyond the divisive abortion debate to find common ground in the experiences of pregnancy and the increasing limitations to care and support that all pregnant and birthing women face. Ms. Pemberton spoke about her personal experiences filling in important facts missing from the trial court decision in her case, Pemberton v. Tallahassee Memorial Regional Center, 66 F. Supp. 2d 1247 (N.D. Fla. 1999). A pdf of the Pemberton decision is available at: faculty.smu.edu/tmayo/pemberton.pdf Ms. Pemberton's presence and presentation at this conference in no way reflects support for any of the views or opinions expressed by other individuals or organizations at this historic event.
