The Supreme Court’s June 2022 ruling in Dobbs vs. Jackson effectively divided the country into two nations in terms of access to reproductive health care, and renewed concerns about other pillars of social progress – eeven those previously thought untouchable. In anticipation of the country’s first national election since January 6, 2021, we consider what is at stake in November’s elections.
Join us for a conversation with experts from a range of disciplines as they discuss the ruling’s meaning, and the ways in which its impacts could play out in the midterm elections.
