Newport Historical Society Resource Guide on Contraception, Abortion, and Reproductive Rights
Historic events that will have a profound impact on our future are happening every day. On June 24, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court made one such historic decision when it reversed Roe v.

With our “Know Your History’ initiative, we try to connect our audiences with historical information that is relevant to the moment and what is happening in the world. To answer a need for historical context and educational materials on the history of women’s reproductive rights in America, we have put together the following resource guide.
