DESCRIPTION
On June 24, 2022, the United States Supreme Court issued a decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which held that the Constitution does not confer a right to an abortion. This Symposium is designed to foster a discussion of the likely implications of the Dobbs decision for women—especially poor women with other children—and what governmental supports should be put in place to address the needs of those denied access to abortion care. The four panels of the symposium will roughly outline chronologically the impacts and support necessary for children and their families to thrive. Each of these issues is at a moment of inflection. This Symposium has gathered a diverse group of voices to explore these questions at this important moment, recounting where we have been, describing where we are, and envisioning where the law of reproductive rights, maternal health, and support for parents and children should go next.
This Symposium will be an all-day event at our campus in Newark, New Jersey. There will be four panels with scholars from across the country that focus on: (1) Reproductive Rights (2) Maternal Health (3) Support for Parents After Childbirth and (4) Support for Early Age Children. Additionally, we have two honorary speakers, including Alexia Korberg who litigated the Dobbs decision in front of the Supreme Court, and Rachel Rebouché the Dean of the Beasley School of Law at Temple University who is a leading scholar on reproductive health law, feminist legal theory, and family law.
