Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization [SCOTUSbrief]

On June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court released its opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, stating that the Constitution does not confer a right to abortion and overturning its precedents in Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey.

Why did the Court reach the decision it did? Prof. Julia Mahoney of the University of Virginia School of Law discusses stare decisis, substantive due process, and the Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
