Middlesex-Somerset NOW has
worked with RU Choice (a Rutgers campus
organization) to document reproductive life
before Roe v. Wade so younger
women today can learn what it was like in
that era. Part of this project is to
videotape women describing their experiences
with birth control and abortion before 1973.
The NEVER GO BACK
project in its currently evolving form can
be seen here. If
you would like to contribute your
experiences, send us e-mail.
Video taping can be done anonymously, or
experiences can be related in written
form. The most recent video was added
on March 24, 2013.
