Part of the Sheila C. Johnson Design Center (SJDC) Arnold and Sheila Aronson Galleries Fall 2014 exhibition series Time: 7 pm For the last two years, the sole remaining abortion clinic in Mississippi has fought to stay open. Known to supporters as “The Pink House,” JWHO was under threat in 2012 when the Mississippi state legislature passed a bill effectively banning abortion in the state. Caught in the political crossfire were the women of Mississippi. Through interviews with clinic employees, patients and pro-life activists, award-winning filmmaker Maisie Crow and writer Alissa Quart paint a personal portrait of the effects of abortion restrictions in the state. Crow, along with JWHO owner Diane Derzis, will be on hand for a post-film discussion.
