In this in-depth 30-minute livestream, we explore how journalist Lawrence Lader and OB-GYN Bernard Nathanson co-founded NARAL in 1969 and strategically built the modern abortion rights movement. From recruiting feminists like Betty Friedan, to media tactics and admitted fabrications of statistics, to Nathanson’s dramatic reversal after seeing ultrasound technology—this is the detailed, lesser-known history behind Roe v. Wade.
