Four years ago, the Supreme Court issued “Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization,” overturning nearly 50 years of precedent and eliminating a constitutional right on which generations of Americans had relied to make decisions about their autonomy and their ability to shape their own futures.
Four years later, studies have documented barriers to care, clinic closures, increased travel burdens for patients seeking care, worsening maternal health outcomes, and existential consequences for women, families, and children in states with abortion bans.
Today, we reflect on what was lost, the impacts that continue to unfold, and the work that remains ahead.
HERE is a link to the full statement issued today by Women Lawyers On Guard and the National Association of Women Lawyers.
