5: Abortion Law and the Rise of Regulation

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode, we begin by acknowledging that abortion was returned to the states on June 24, 2022, with the Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson. This meant that state laws banning abortion could no longer be overturned on the grounds they violate a woman’s Constitutional right of privacy. Whether laws that restrict abortion are acceptable is to be addressed democratically by the people.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Next, we discuss the fact that there are seven types of restrictions states can enact, related to costs, delays, availability, and consent. So, even though one has a “right” to something, it’s another thing to be able to exercise that “right.” While women theoretically have had a right to choose to terminate a pre-viability pregnancy, regulations, including public funding bans, have certainly burdened access to that right. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We close out with a preview of the next episode where we’ll illustrate “regulation in action” by dissecting Pennsylvania’s Abortion Control Act, which has been the subject of not just one, but three Supreme Court decisions, including the famous 1992 decision - Planned Parenthood v. Casey.</span></p> <p>Connect with Kelley Keller on LinkedIn</p> <p><a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/kelleykeller/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/kelleykeller/</a></p> <p> </p>

4: The Day That Roe Died

<p class="p1">This episode addresses the June 24, 2022 bombshell decision from the U.S. Supreme Court - Dobbs v. Jackson - which overturned Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey.<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p class="p1">We begin the show by exploring the core issue in Dobbs, which is the “fundamental right” to choose to have an abortion created by Roe.</p> <p class="p1">First up, we identify what fundamental rights are and where they’re found in the Constitution. Then we take a deep dive into the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment since that is the source of the “privacy right” in Roe. This leads us to a discussion of the term “liberty” in the Due Process Clause … nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law … and how it was defined and expanded over the course of the 20th Century to includes rights of privacy under a doctrine called substantive due process.</p> <p class="p1">We then shift to the test, or standard, used to determine whether a right should be included in the expansive definition of liberty and discuss how Dobbs applied it.</p> <p class="p1">We round out the show by unpacking Justice Thomas’ concurrence in Dobbs and what it really means.</p> <p class="p1">Finally, we wrap with a TL;DR about Dobbs, what happened, and where we go from here, now that abortion is back in the hands of the people.</p> <p class="p1"><strong>Links Mentioned</strong></p> <p class="p3"><span class="s1">Roe v.

3: The Case That Changed Roe: Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992) - Part 1

<p class="p1">This episode lays the groundwork for understanding the second most important abortion case in American law, Planned Parenthood v. Casey, decided in 1992.</p> <p class="p1">The episode begins with an acknowledgment that Roe did not settle the abortion debate, but rather created a fractious debate that didn’t really exist before it was passed.</p> <p class="p1">We then shift to discussing the myriad health and safety regulations passed by various states in the post-Roe years and why they were struck down by the high court.<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span> This leads into a discussion of standards of judicial review and how courts determine whether a law is constitutional or unconstitutional.</p> <p class="p1">Understanding the standard of review is key for understanding Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which changed the standard of review for abortion cases and reduced the court’s authority to police regulatory legislation.<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span> It is also important to understand the role Justice Sandra Day O’Connor played in crafting Casey and this new standard of review.</p> <p class="p1">We also explain that Casey also threw out Roe’s trimester framework in favor of a viability test, which, given advances in medical technology, necessarily made it easier to regulate abortion earlier in the pregnancy.</p> <p class="p1">We wrap the show with a TL;DR about the two pillars of abortion law, Roe and Casey, and the role they play in the current legal environment.<span class= "Apple-converted-space">   </span></p> <p class="p1">The next episode will take a deep dive into Casey and how we regulate abortion in the United States.</p> <p class="p1"><strong>Links Mentioned</strong></p> <p class="p3"><span class="s1">Roe v.
