Bodily autonomy, privacy, and access to abortion all matter for people with disabilities; reproductive justice is a disability justice issue. Last week’s Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization ruling will have a big effect on our community, because the Supreme Court plays a big role in interpreting and enforcing laws that affect people with disabilities. It’s important to understand what our rights around reproductive health care, especially abortion, are right now. 

ASAN is holding a webinar series to talk about what the Supreme Court decision means for our rights, reproductive justice as disability justice, and the legal implications of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization ruling. It’s important to have accessible information on decisions like this that affect our community, so all three webinars will be in plain language.

On Thursday, June 30 from 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM ET, we will be holding Our Bodies, Our Rights: What’s Going On at the Supreme Court?

In this webinar, we will talk about:

  • What is Roe v. Wade?
  • What is Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization?
  • Why does abortion matter to people with disabilities?
  • Why do bodily autonomy and self-determination matter to people with disabilities?
