Hutchins Center Fiscal Impact Measure

Thursday, June 30, 2022

Members of Harriets Wildest Dreams and Bans Off Our Bodies led rallies in front of the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington, D.C., on June 24, 2022. That morning, the court’s conservative majority ruled 6-3 in the case Dobbs v. Jackson. This ruling brings an end to the federal protection of abortion access granted by Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. States across the country fully closed all abortion clinics shortly after the ruling was handed down. Despite the court’s ruling, around 61 percent of the U.S. supports access to abortion in most cases, according to a poll by the Pew Research Center. (Photo by Zach Brien/NurPhoto)NO USE FRANCE
