The Dobbs Decision: Two Months Later
Two months ago today, the Supreme Court issued its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health. As previously described, this opinion held that abortion is not a constitutional right, leaving abortion regulation to the states. Since the issuance of this opinion, we have seen a flurry of activity at both the state and federal levels with some states moving to protect, and even expand, access to abortions, while in other states abortion bans continue to go into effect. At the same time, the federal government has both instigated and been the subject of lawsuits surrounding abortion regulation.
