Summary: <p>The Supreme Court has issued its ruling in the much anticipated case <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/06/24/supreme-court-abortion-ruling/">Dobbs. V. Jackson Women’s Health Organization</a>. The decision has two parts. All of the court’s conservative justice ruled in a 6 to 3 decision to uphold Mississippi’s ban on abortion after 15 weeks. In a second portion of the decision explicitly overturning Roe v. Wade, the court decision was 5 to 4, as chief Justice John Roberts joined with the more liberal members of the court. </p> <p>The outcome overrules Roe v. Wade and ends federal recognition of a constitutional right to an abortion after nearly 50 years. </p> <p>We speak with <a href="https://twitter.com/kenji_yoshino">Kenji Yoshino</a>, the Chief Justice Earl Warren Professor of Constitutional Law at NYU School of Law, and <a href="https://twitter.com/ProfMMurray">Melissa Murray</a>, Law Professor at NYU, faculty director of the Birnbaum Women’s Leadership Network and co-host of the legal podcast called “Strict Scrutiny.” </p> <p> </p>
