美国最高法院即将对多布斯诉杰克逊妇女健康组织一案作出的裁决有可能消除或严重限制在美国获得法律的堕胎护理。我们讨论了该决定可能对堕胎机会及其后果的影响。我们认为，堕胎禁令实际上意味着任何怀孕的人，包括那些继续怀孕并生下健康新生儿的人，以及那些有妊娠并发症或不良妊娠结果的人，都将成为新的法律的监视、民事拘留、强制干预和刑事起诉的受害者。禁止或严格限制堕胎所造成的伤害将不成比例地影响有色人种，并使结构性种族主义永久化。我们警告说，把罗伊案作为一个只保护终止妊娠的决定，忽视了该决定也为那些想继续妊娠的人提供的保护。它忽视了推翻罗伊案将如何削减所有怀孕者的基本权利，并将损害他们作为应受宪法保护的完整人的地位。这种单一的焦点不可避免地掩盖了不同意识形态的人们可能存在的共同点，以确保所有怀孕者的安全，健康，人道和权利。
The upcoming U.S. Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization has the potential to eliminate or severely restrict access to legal abortion care in the United States. We address the impact that the decision could have on abortion access and its consequences beyond abortion care. We posit that an abortion ban would, in effect, mean that anyone who becomes pregnant, including those who continue a pregnancy and give birth to healthy newborns and those with pregnancy complications or adverse pregnancy outcomes will become newly vulnerable to legal surveillance, civil detentions, forced interventions, and criminal prosecution. The harms imposed by banning or severely restricting abortion access will disproportionately affect persons of color and perpetuate structural racism. We caution that focusing on Roe as a decision that only protects ending a pregnancy ignores the protection that the decision also affords people who want to continue their pregnancies. It overlooks the ways in which overturning Roe will curtail fundamental rights for all those who become pregnant and will undermine their status as full persons meriting Constitutional protections. Such a singular focus inevitably obscures the common ground that people across the ideological spectrum might inhabit to ensure the safety, health, humanity, and rights of all people who experience pregnancy.
