In this Colorado Law Talk, Professor Jennifer Hendricks will engage in an important and timely conversation about the U.S. Supreme Court?s ongoing reconsideration of Roe v. Wade. Professor Hendricks will describe the arc of the court?s abortion jurisprudence in terms of three wedges that pry the pregnant woman apart from, first, her fetus; second, her doctor; and third, her community. The first two wedges have each taken a turn as the primary rationale for restricting abortion rights. Most recently, at least one justice has taken an interest in anti-abortion rhetoric that drives a wedge between the pregnant woman and her community by accusing Black women who have abortions of participating in eugenics and genocide. The cumulative effect of these three themes in abortion jurisprudence will shape the legal landscape of abortion in the U.S. after June 2022.
