Just over fifty years ago, on January 22, 1973, the United States Supreme Court assured millions of women in Roe v. Wade that abortion was a protected Constitutional right due to a woman’s right to privacy. In the context of the burgeoning Women’s Rights Movement, it seemed like an inalienable victory: women might become equal in their right to determine what would happen to their bodies. This was a hard-won fight that had reached back to colonial America and slavery. But on June 24, 2022, the decision was shockingly reversed by the Supreme Court in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. What happened? What transpired socially, politically, legally, in religious institutions and in popular culture in the half-century when “the right to choose” led to this stunning transformation in American society? This roundtable will tackle the historical roots of these debates and how scholars and activists are fighting to protect reproductive and healthcare rights.
