Linda Greenhouse, MSL presents the 2021 Lawrence Lader Lectureship on Family Planning and Reproductive Rights.
The Lawrence Lader Lectureship was established by a gift from advocate and author Lawrence Lader to Harvard Medical School. The series began in 1997 when Faye Wattleton, former head of Planned Parenthood, spoke on Reproductive Freedom for the 21st Century.
Lawrence Lader was a 1941 graduate of Harvard College and the founding chair of the National Abortion Rights Action League. Mr. Lader was a journalist and author of eleven books including "Abortion," which was quoted nine times in the U.S. Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision.
Linda Greenhouse is a senior research scholar and lecturer in law at Yale Law School, where she has taught since 2009. For the preceding thirty years, she was the New York Times Supreme Court correspondent and earned a number of major journalism awards, including the Pulitzer Prize, for her coverage of the Court. She has written widely about the law and politics of abortion. Her New York Times Magazine article, “Constitutional Question: Is There a Right to Abortion?”, published in January 1970, was one of the first articles for a general readership about the emerging legal framework for the abortion debate. She is a graduate of Radcliffe College, Harvard, and earned a Master of Studies in Law Degree from Yale Law School. She has been a member of several nonprofit boards, including the Harvard Board of Overseers (2009-2015) and currently serves as president of the American Philosophical Society, the first woman to hold that position since the society’s founding by Benjamin Franklin in 1943.
