The Supreme Court's Dobbs v. Jackson women's Health Organization ruling, issued in June 2022, overturned Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, eliminating the constitutional right to abortion and returning the authority to regulate or protect abortion access to individual states. This decision triggered a wave of legal challenges across the country.
Following Dobbs, many states enacted restrictive abortion bans or critically important limitations on access. In response, abortion providers and advocates have filed lawsuits challenging thes state abortion bans, arguing they violate state constitutional provisions related to privacy, equal protection, or other state laws.
