Much can be said and has been said about the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs. v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization which overturned Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. This decision, which has been anticipated by both pro-choice and pro-life advocates for weeks (thanks to a leaked draft opinion), lays out clearly its reasoning in finding that there is not a constitutional right to abortion and therefore the issue of abortion is left to the states.

Few topics are as significant, controversial, and divisive as the debates over abortion. Whether pro-life, pro-choice, or some combination based on context, this issue has become a key dividing line in our society. In the United States, this is especially so following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on June 24, 2022 in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturns the landmark decisions of Roe v. Wade (1973) and Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992). Traditional and social media are filled with a range of voices and perspectives on this decision.
