When the U.S. Supreme Court overturned its own precedents and ruled that access to abortion is not a right guaranteed by the Constitution, five justices did something that the Supreme Court has rarely done - rolled back an existing guarantee of liberty.
In this emergency episode of Speaking Freely, we hear from ACLU-PA Deputy Legal Director Sara Rose and Senior Policy Advocate Julie Zaebst. Sara and Julie have been part of our team that has been responding to the Dobbs decision. In this conversation, we specifically discuss the impacts of the court’s ruling in Pennsylvania - on patients and providers, on the political landscape, and in the courts.
