The Supreme Court appears poised to overturn the constitutional right to an abortion. In recent months, some states have banned all abortions, including those caused by rape and incest, while other states proposed laws that will label abortion as homicide and seek the death penalty for women seeking abortion. Meanwhile, other states are proposing laws that ban certain types of contraception. This panel confronts the implications of this ruling. Kate Weber (SCC History) explores the history of abortion and other restrictions on women's bodily autonomy. Dana Prewitt (SCC Sociology) will discuss the sociological impact of this ruling on American women. Paul Roesler (SCC Political Science) will examine the Constitutional roots of the Right to Privacy, and how its elimination will weaken other bodily autonomy rights, including birth control and gay sex.
