WVII Interviews UMaine Student at Women’s Health Center Event

WVII (Channel 7) spoke with University of Maine sociology major Shannon Brenner at the Mabel Wadsworth Women’s Health Center Choice and Chocolate event in Bangor. The event was held to celebrate the 41st anniversary of the Supreme Court ruling in Roe v. Wade and to raise awareness of the 1-in-3 Campaign that aims to silence the stigma related to abortion. Brenner, who is also co-chairwoman of the UMaine Student Women’s Association and promoter of the 1-in-3 Campaign, said sharing personal stories about abortion can help people connect to the woman behind the stories. UMaine alumna Abbie Strout, education and outreach coordinator for Mabel Wadsworth, was also interviewed for the report.
