After Dobbs
How the Supreme Court Ended Roe but Not Abortion
Carole Joffe ; David S. Cohen
- How
- hard-working
- individuals
- have
- kept
- abortion
- afloat
- in
- the
- wake
- of
- Roe
- v.
- Wade’s
- destruction,
- and
- the
- continued
- help
- needed
- if
- we
- want
- to
- sustain
- itWhen
- the
- Supreme
- Court
- overturned
- Roe
- v.
- Wade
- in
- June
- 2022,
- many
- feared
- it
- meant
- the
- end
- of
- abortion
- access
- in
- the
- United
- States.
- Yet
- the
- courageous
- work
- of
- people
- on
- the
- ground
- has
- allowed
- abortion
- to
- survive
- post-Dobbs
- in
- ways
- that
- no
- one
- predicted.In
- After
- Dobbs,
- law
- professor
- David
- S.
- Cohen
- and
- sociologist
- Carole
- Joffe
- interview
- 24
- people
- across
- all
- different
- fields
- in
- abortion
- and
- in
- different
- state
- political
- environments
- to
- uncover
- how
- the
- abortion
- providing
- community
- and
- its
- allies
- prepared
- for,
- and
- then
- responded
- to
- this
- momentous
- event.
- Taking
- place
- across
- three
- intervals
- throughout
- 2022—pre-Dobbs
- in
- early
- 2022,
- right
- after
- Dobbs,
- and
- then
- six
- months
- later—these
- interviews
- showcase
- how
- nimble
- thinking
- on
- the
- part
- of
- providers,
- growth
- and
- new
- delivery
- models
- of
- abortion
- pills,
- and
- the
- never-ending
- work
- of
- those
- who
- help
- with
- abortion
- travel
- and
- funding
- have
- ensured
- most
- people
- who
- want
- them
- are
- still
- getting
- abortions,
- even
- without
- Roe.But,
- as
- much
- as
- this
- is
- cause
- for
- celebration,
- the
- work
- required
- to
- make
- abortion
- possible
- is
- difficult
- and
- costly—in
- time,
- money,
- and
- emotion.
- There
- may
- soon
- come
- a
- time
- when
- the
- overturning
- of
- Roe
- means
- a
- much
- more
- severe
- decline
- in
- the
- number
- of
- people
- able
- to
- obtain
- the
- abortions
- they
- seek.
- But
- because
- of
- the
- work
- of
- the
- people
- in
- this
- book
- and
- those
- like
- them,
- even
- though
- Roe
- is
- dead,
- abortion
- is
- not
- .
- .
- . yet.
