Breaking News Session: The Impact of Roe v. Wade Overturned
Setup
Today, the US Supreme Court overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, ending nearly 50 years of the constitutional right to abortion and sending the decision on whether to ban, restrict, or protect abortion back to the states. Public health and legal experts will discuss the implications of this controversial decision including how abortion access will change under state laws, what this means for women and people seeking reproductive healthcare, and the potential impact of the decision on other privacy related matters.
