Reversing Roe V.Wade: The Impacts for Washington State

Civic Cocktail offers a lively look at big events and important issues facing the Puget Sound region.

The consequences of a reversal of Roe v. Wade could be felt for decades to come. What are the implications for our region and state? How could this decision impact the everyday lives of Washingtonians? In two 30-minute segments, Civic Cocktail host Monica Guzman will explore the possible health, social, economic, and legal impacts of this monumental decision, along with possible changes to other federal court-decided rights. Segment one will focus on the social, health and economic impacts to our regional and state and segment two on the legal impacts for Washington. 

Speakers

Manka Dhingra - Washington State Senator, 45th District

Rebecca Gibron - CEO, Planned Parenthood, Greater Northwest, Hawai'i, Alaska, Indiana, Kentucky

Bob Ferguson - Attorney General, WA State

About Civic Cocktail
Civic Cocktail connects elected and community leaders with the public for lively conversations about important issues facing our region. Whether you’re new to the Pacific Northwest, a self-described “civic nerd,” or looking to meet people engaged in their communities, your evening at this beloved program is sure to be friendly, fun, and fascinating. Civic Cocktail’s welcoming and conversational tone is inspired by our Dialogue Across Differences initiative. We hope you can join in person, where the conversation happens over tasty bites and festive libations, but you can still enjoy the experience wherever you are by watching virtually.
