How Have Abortion Rights Changed After The Fall Of Roe And Where Are We Headed?
The national abortion rights landscape has changed quickly following the Supreme Court’s ruling on Dobbs v. Jackson’s Women’s Health Organization. That ruling effectively dismantled the constitutional right to abortion, originally codified by the Supreme Court’s decision on Roe v. Wade. And so began a patchwork of changes across states. A number of states had trigger laws at the ready, which could outlaw abortions in the wake of the decision. Trigger laws in Utah, Wyoming and Idaho have been temporarily blocked due to legal challenges. As those challenges play out, a bipartisan bill known as The Reproductive Freedom for All Act aims to codify reproductive protections. Sarah McCammon, national correspondent for NPR News covering political, social and cultural divides in America, including abortion and reproductive rights, and Michele Bratcher Goodwin, Chancellor’s professor of law and director of the Center for Biotechnology and Global Health Policy at UC Irvine who’s also the author of “Policing The Womb: Invisible Women and the Criminalization of Motherhood” (Cambridge University Press, 2020), join Larry to discuss where things stand and where they could be headed.
