The Center’s panel, “Global Dialogue on Impacts of U.S. Regression in Abortion Access,” will examine U.S. abortion bans and resrictions and the cases challenging them in a global context.
Speakers and panelists include:
- Nancy Northup, Center President and CEO, opening remarks.
- Enid Muthoni Ndiga, the Center’s Senior Vice President of the Global Legal Program, moderator.
- Dr. Tlaleng Mofokeng, UN Special Rapporteur on Health, and the lead amici in the United Nations Mandate Holders brief in the Center’s recent Supreme Court case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
- Michele Bratcher Goodwin, a Chancellor’s Professor at the University of California, Irvine, and founding director of the Center for Biotechnology and Global Health Policy. Goodwin is also an elected member of the American Law Institute.
- Giselle Carino is the CEO of Fόs Feminista, an international alliance of over 135 organizations active in the sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice space.
In the U.S., states enacted more abortion restrictions in 2021 than any other year since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973. The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to block Texas’s abortion ban and vigilante scheme that has ended most abortion access in the state, and this spring it will rule on the constitutionality of a Mississippi abortion ban enacted as a direct challenge to Roe.
