Carole Joffe and David Cohen on their book After Dobbs: How the Supreme Court Ended Roe but not Abortion
Manage episode 490585093 series 2581616
Immediately after the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization Supreme Court case that overturned Roe v. Wade,shock, sadness, and anger were predominant. But even still, abortion providers, abortion fund workers, and other advocates and leaders in the field provided, facilitated, and fought for access to care. Carole Joffe, professor of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive sciences at the University of California, San Francisco and professor emerita of sociology at UC Davis, and David Cohen, law professor at Drexel's Klein School of Law in Philadelphia and pro bono counsel to a number of Pennsylvania abortion clinics, sit down to talk with us about their book, After Dobbs: How the Supreme Court Ended Roe but not Abortion.
Since Dobbs, abortion numbers have gone up, likely related to impassioned grassroots advocacy, media coverage, fundraising, and the help of abortion funds and patient navigators. Some additional developments since Dobbs include providers moving their offices to different states and abortion pills becoming increasingly depended on. In addition, some similarities in both legal ruling and repeal of bodily autonomy can be drawn between Dobbs and the recent, devastating Supreme Court ruling, United States v. Skrmetti, which upheld Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for transgender minors.
