Encroachments on Women's Rights through Roe v. Wade

In this podcast, the HULR examines the persistent debate on the legalization of abortion and state of Roe v. Wade. This podcast will provide information on past and present cases involving Roe v. Wade and how they might impact the decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health this summer. We will also look at the different laws that have emerged in different states and the implications not only for women but also for doctors and women who have miscarriages. We will explore the controversy surrounding specific state regulations like the Texas “Heartbeat Bill” and Alabama’s Human Life Protection Act. Finally, we will look at the case of Roe v. Wade itself, delving into problems with the initial ruling and also discussing the implications if it were to be overturned this summer. We hope that this podcast provides its listeners with a better understanding of the debate around abortion, the recent developments across the nation, and the detriments of reversing a landmark case.
