Now that the “viability line” in pregnancy — as defined by Roe v. Wade — is no longer federal law, lawmakers and lawyers are coming up with new frameworks for abortion access at a dizzying rate. In this second part of our series, More Perfect asks: what if abortion law wasn’t shaped by men at the Supreme Court, but instead by people who know what it’s like to be pregnant, to have abortions, and to lose pregnancies? We hear from women on the front lines of the next legal battle over abortion in America.
Voices in the episode include:
• Mary J. Browning — pro bono lawyer for The Justice Foundation
• Dr. Shelley Sella — OBGYN (retired)
• Greer Donley — University of Pittsburgh School of Law professor
• Jill Wieber Lens — University of Arkansas School of Law professor
Learn more:
• 1973: Roe v. Wade
• 2022: Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization
• Listen to Part 1: The Viability Line
Supreme Court archival audio comes from Oyez®, a free law project by Justia and the Legal Information Institute of Cornell Law School.
