The Sissy Farenthold Reproductive Justice Defense Project is part of the Sissy Farenthold Fund at Texas Law’s Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice. We provide legal information and other resources for lawyers, advocates, and health care providers who represent or support those who face criminal or other carceral consequences for pregnancy related outcomes, and the public. In addition, we track criminal charges, prosecutions, and civil suits in Texas related to pregnancy and abortion. Finally, we serve as a hub for state, national, and international academic research and advocacy regarding the criminalization of pregnancy.

“The right to abortion has become a class issue, a race issue, a privacy issue … But it is, above all, our issue.”
– Sissy Farenthold, 1977

 

Upcoming Events

  • Join us for an evening of drinks, snacks, and conversation with new and old Repro Justice friends. This will be an informal space to connect with other RJ folks and learn more about what everyone is working on and opportunities for collaboration. Our goal is to foster solidarity and make this a monthly occurrence.
