"Free Speech and Abortions: The First Amendment Case Against Compelled Motherhood"

The U.S. Supreme Court recently heard arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which challenges Mississippi's "Gestational Age Act" banning abortions after fifteen weeks. While the Court has been deliberating, we spoke with Professor Raymond Ku about Dobbs and his novel First Amendment argument supporting the right to abortion. Ku's new article, "Free Speech & Abortion: The First Amendment Case Against Compelled Motherhood," will be published in Issue 6 of Volume 43. Join us to learn why Prof. Ku believes that pregnancy and motherhood fall within the First Amendment's prohibition against compelled expression.
