Our Bodies, Our Rights: What’s Going On at the Supreme Court?
There is a lot of information about what is happening at the Supreme Court and how it affects our rights, but most of it is not accessible or easy to understand. These issues impact people with disabilities, and it’s important that we have accessible information about what’s going on at the Supreme Court.
“Our Bodies, Our Rights: What’s Going On at the Supreme Court?” explains the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision, and how it will affect abortion access and our right to privacy.
This toolkit answers questions like:
- 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?
- What is the right to privacy and what does it include?
And more.
The toolkit is available in two versions:
Our Easy Read edition. The Easy Read version is written in Plain Language. It uses large text and uses images to support the text. Click here to download the Easy Read version of “Our Bodies, Our Rights: What’s Going On at the Supreme Court?”

Our Rights Under Threat: What Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization means for people with disabilities
“Our Rights Under Threat: What Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization means for people with disabilities” takes the discussion a step further and examines the impact the decision will have on all of our rights. Our civil rights are woven together — and when one thread is pulled, other rights can unravel. The Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization will threaten not only our abortion rights, but many other civil rights as well. Dobbs is a case about the right to abortion. But the decision in Dobbs affects a lot of other rights as well. The decision in Dobbs affects rights like:
- The right to get married
- The right for adults to have sex
- The right to get birth control
- The right to have children
And more.
This toolkit will talk about why these rights are important, and why they are in danger after the Dobbs decision. It will also talk about what we can do to protect our rights.
