Shifts in Abortion Obtainment After the Fall of Roe
WCAA Faculty Lecture with Jennifer O’Donnell ’05, Lecturer, Women’s and Gender Studies
Thursday, February 9, 2023
4PM PT (Virtual)
The Dobbs decision overturned Roe v Wade, removing the federal protection that Roe had provided since 1973, which permitted abortion in all US states until fetal viability. In the wake of the decision, dozens of states have or will implement total abortion bans and/or other extreme restrictions on abortion care, with restrictions that carry civil and criminal penalties. As a result, major shifts are expected regarding where people access abortion care, with major reductions in the numbers of patients in restricted access states and major increases in protected access states. This lecture will discuss data reported since the June 2022 Supreme Court decision. Register for this event with the WCAA. WCSV Board Update
