The Dobbs Case: Is abortion a "right" without a constitutional foundation?
Manage episode 323643541 series 3009291
In 1973 in Roe v Wade, the Supreme Court found an implied right to abortion in the Constitution. By the end of this term in June, it will rule on a case - Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Women's Health Organization - that challenges the continuing validity of that holding.
Professors Helen Alvaré of George Mason Scalia School of Law and William Saunders of The Catholic University of America will discuss the prospects for overturning Roe.
Below are three readings that will provide background to the discussion.
- "Roberts's roadmap to reversing Roe v. Wade", Helen Alvaré, The Hill, March 4, 2022.
- Amicus Brief of 141 International Legal Scholars
- Brief of 240 Women Scholars et al In Support of Petitioners Dobbs
