MEMO: SIX PENDING REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS CASES WE’RE KEEPING AN EYE ON


This month will bring a juxtaposition many observers once considered unthinkable: Americans will mark the 50-year anniversary of Roe v. Wade without a constitutional right to abortion.

Since the Supreme Court’s right-wing supermajority overturned the federal right to abortion care in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization this summer, millions have faced enormous, often insurmountable barriers to accessing abortion care. But the fight for abortion rights in the courts is far from over — and so is the threat posed by the stolen Court’s right-wing supermajority.

Dobbs was the Court’s most recent strike at abortion rights, but with the current makeup of the bench and so many reproductive rights cases pending in lower courts, it certainly won’t be the last. This memo highlights six key upcoming legal battles that could offer the right-wing Supreme Court justices a chance to further chip away at our humanity and reproductive rights.
