Agenda: Deliberating upon the future of reproductive health and rights in the United States
The overturning of Roe v. Wade has sparked a nationwide debate on abortion rights, state sovereignty, and the intersection of law and personal freedoms. This decision has significant implications for reproductive rights, women’s health, and access to safe medical procedures, with states now empowered to regulate or ban abortions. This committee will explore the legal, ethical, and social ramifications of the decision, focusing on its impact on women’s rights, healthcare systems, and state-federal relations.
