Description

The Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization will have long-term effects on reproductive health care and economic opportunities, especially for women. The decision has also led to concern about other long-standing rights like sexual liberty, access to contraception and same-sex marriage. Faculty experts from NIU discuss the legal and practical implications of the Dobbs decision, the potential precedent for other Supreme Court cases, and the differential impact this decision will have on diverse populations.
