In advance of tomorrow's argument in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, we asked experts and advocates on both sides of the abortion debate to weigh in on how the court should approach the case. You can read our full symposium here: scotusblog.com/category/speci…
First, @marjoriesba argues that the court's abortion precedents are "hopelessly unworkable" and based on misunderstandings about women's progress. SCOTUS, she argues, should scrap those precedents and allow the democratic branches to set abortion policy. scotusblog.com/2021/11/modern…
Arguing that abortion is "a fundamental aspect of liberty and equality," @FGossGraves highlights the systemic disparities that affect the ability to decide whether and when to have children. She urges SCOTUS to affirm five decades of abortion precedent. scotusblog.com/2021/11/our-eq…
Professor Helen Alvaré of George Mason University argues that Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey were "political, not constitutional, decisions" that relied on ahistorical interpretations of the 14th Amendment. scotusblog.com/2021/11/a-righ…
Finally, reproductive-rights scholar @mayamanian cites extensive data on the adverse effects of abortion restrictions and writes that a ruling in favor of Mississippi would cause devastating harm to marginalized people. scotusblog.com/2021/11/dobbs-…
