Faculty Panel: “The Constitution and Reproductive Rights in the Wake of Dobbs"

In June, the Supreme Court announced its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, holding that there is no constitutional right to abortion. In light of that, the university is focusing its Constitution Day activities on discussions about the background, impacts, and future implications of this decision as a constitutional matter. 

In the second of three faculty discussions, Professors Alisa Kessel, Douglas Sackman, Suzanne Holland, and Robin Jacobson will participate in a panel in the Rotunda in the Wheelock Student Center focusing on the Constitution and reproductive rights in the wake of Dobbs, delving into issues of equal protection and due process, federalism, religious liberty, and bodily autonomy.

Civic Engagement will be hosting a voter registration table at this event.
