Episode 27: Roe on the Brink

On December 1st, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the blockbuster abortion case Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Org. Lindsay Langholz speaks with Gretchen Borchelt, Vice President for Reproductive Rights and Health at the National Women's Law Center, on this week's episode to break down the oral arguments and discuss what the future holds for reproductive rights and justice. Will the Court use Dobbs to overturn Roe v. Wade and nearly 50 years of precedent that clearly established the constitutional right to an abortion? What impact would that have, not just on the right to abortion but on other areas of constitutional law? And where do we go from here in the fight for reproductive rights? They discuss these and other pressing questions. ----------------- Join the Progressive Legal Movement Today: ACSLaw.org Today's Host: Lindsay Langholz, ACS Director of Policy and Program Guest: Gretchen Borchelt, Vice President for Reproductive Rights and Health at the National Women’s Law Center Link: Audio Recording of the Supreme Court's oral arguments in Dobbs v.
