Description

The leaked draft majority opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization suggests a very near future without Roe v. Wade. The draft opinion, while not the final opinion of the Court, also portends implications for other constitutional rights and may therefore have broader impact. Regardless of what the final opinion says, it’s safe to expect a flurry of related litigation and legislation nationwide.

You’ll be up-to-speed in time for the Dobbs ruling with Reproductive “Rights”: About to Lose Them or Were They Gone Years Ago. Presenter Susan L. Hays will review the jurisprudence that paved the way for Roe, asses the origins of the constitutional right to privacy, and examine the reasoning behind the Court’s decision in Roe. She’ll discuss post-Roe decisions on abortion regulations and the parallels between reproductive rights and other constitutional rights.

You’ll also receive a fascinating rundown on the evolution of abortion laws using Texas as an example, and understand the practical effects on women’s health when reproductive rights are restricted. Better understand the current state of reproductive rights when the Dobbs decision comes down with help from Reproductive “Rights”: About to Lose Them or Were They Gone Years Ago?
