Supreme Court Review:
The State of Reproductive Rights and Justice in America
Women’s reproductive health and rights in the U.S. are in serious peril. The U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision to let stand Texas’s ban on abortions after six-weeks of pregnancy sets the stage for the upcoming Mississippi abortion case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which the Court will hear this term. Neither law provides an exception for cases of rape or incest. Both cases represent direct challenges to Roe v. Wade, which for nearly fifty years has protected the bodily autonomy and reproductive privacy of pregnant women. In a radical challenge to abortion rights, states like Mississippi, Texas, and others are appealing to the Supreme Court to reverse Roe v. Wade.
Join this conversation as experts explain what is at stake, what these laws propose, and the response from the Justice Department.
