Where does abortion law in the United States stand, and where are we headed? In the wake of Supreme Court’s landmark decision, June Medical Services v. Russo, join the authors of four influential books on reproductive health, Professors David S. Cohen, Michele Goodwin, Carol Sanger, and Mary Ziegler, for a timely conversation, moderated by NPR’s Sarah McCammon, about the past, present, and future of the law and politics of reproduction. The authors’ insights will also bring into focus recent state policies that have deepened inequalities and strained access to pregnancy and abortion care during the pandemic.
