Professors David Cohen, Greer Donley, and Rachel Rebouché made an explicit statement to the Court on the wrongness of Dobbs, pointing to how law can and should center the actual experiences of marginalized people rather than the policy agenda of the conservative legal movement. https://lnkd.in/eEbc8njh

Attorneys from the Women’s Law Project have filed the first-ever amicus curiae brief urging the U.S. Supreme Court to reconsider its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the case that overturned Roe v. Wade. The brief was filed on behalf of David Cohen, Greer Donley, and Rachel Rebouché in Moyle v. US, a case that focuses on providing essential medical care to pregnant people at Medicare-funded hospitals. At the heart of the brief is the argument that Dobbs is not “workable,” which means it is inherently flawed and impractical and therefore should be overturned. https://lnkd.in/eeYUpCNq

Dr. Jackie Ellison's findings "demonstrate how abortion restrictions disproportionately impact women and people who can get pregnant...The increase likely reflects fear or anxiety among young people about restricted access to abortion and/or contraception.” https://lnkd.in/eEUBRdtZ

New research led by Dr. Jackie Ellison shows that the number of young adults who chose tubal ligation and vasectomies as birth control abruptly jumped after the overturn of Roe and has continued to rise. https://lnkd.in/eqQRSYRU

Compared to vasectomy, tubal ligation procedures are far more complex and are anywhere from two to six times more expensive, yet, Dr. Ellison found that tubal sterilizations were twice as high relative to vasectomies. Over time, tubal sterilizations continued to increase; for vasectomies, however, the initial jump was not sustained. https://lnkd.in/eR3PiyM2
