Post Roe Frontiers? A Conversation about Legal, Medical, and Political Mobilizations

When the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June, the controversial decision ended the right to abortion that was upheld for nearly 50 years. So what does a post-Roe world look like? In this program, UC Irvine law professor Michele Bratcher Goodwin and UC Santa Barbara feminist studies professor Laury Oaks discuss the wide-ranging impact of the decision on legal, medical, and political mobilizations.

Why are Californians so worried when other states want to have their own legislation of abortion? Do they realize that most states would have no more restrictive legislation than most of Europe? I don't think people in Poland would appreciate the EU forcing them to legalise abortion, it's just not the kind of society that wants that. I guess we understand what they mean when they say "protect our democracy" certainly not protect your democracy.
