ABORTION AT THE CROSSROADS: REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS AND JUSTICE ON THE PRECIPICE OF ROE'S DEMISE
Drexel Law Review, Vol.14(4), p787
22 Dec 2022
Abstract
Nearly fifty years after the Supreme Court recognized abortion as a constitutional right in the United States, the fate of Roe v. Wade hangs in the balance. This Article, written based on remarks delivered at the end of the Drexel Law Review's October 2021 symposium on COVID-19, reproductive rights, and the law (and thus before the Court's decision to overturn Roe), outlines the current state of abortion rights in the United States, focusing on the two cases that have tested the Court's willingness to abandon Roe: Whole Woman's Health v. Jackson and Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. Despite the grim outlook for reproductive rights, this Article also paves a path forward and explains how lessons learned from the pandemic, activism, and state legislation can protect reproductive rights.
