Featuring Keynote Speaker Kathryn Kolbert
Kathryn Kolbert is Director of the Athena Center for Leadership Studies at Barnard College and was the attorney who argued Planned Parenthood v. Casey before the Supreme Court in 1992.  Planned Parenthood v. Casey was a seminal case which protected the constitutional right to an abortion yet scaled back the constitutional protections provided by Roe v. Wade.
 
Honoring Sara Ainsworth

Sara Ainsworth is the former Senior Legal & Legislative Counsel with Legal Voice, and we are excited to honor her with the 2011 Power of Choice Award for her commitment, courage and leadership in the fight to protect access to reproductive health care in Washington State.
