What Happens If Roe V. Wade is Overturned?

# data[].attributes.body
Abortions would be left up for the states to decide if legal or not

More than 20 states would ban abortions

This would disproportionately affect people of color and people of lower socioeconomic status as they have the least access to affordable healthcare

People would get unsafe abortions, risking infections or possibly death

Other Possible Outcomes:

The number of children in foster care could increase

The number of neglect/abuse reports received by Child Protective Service Agencies could increase

Possible increase in postpartum depression

Possible increase in mental health disorders

These rights are vital to women’s socioeconomic, mental health, and overall well-being

Research suggests that being able to make decisions about one’s own reproductive life and the timing of one’s entry into parenthood is associated with greater relationship stability and satisfaction, more work experience among women, and increased wages and average career earnings

It Begins with One: Sexual & Reproductive Health & Rights

# data[].attributes.body
Margaret Sanger and Mary Ware Dennett were early birth control activists in the United States. They advocated for women’s right to contraception and sexual education resources in the early to middle 1900’s.

Both were arrested for distributing birth control resources as it was illegal at the time.

They are considered pioneers of women’s reproductive rights in the United States

Though, they were not successful, their efforts did allow for later generations to discuss birth control as an option.

In the 1960’s, women were finally allowed to legally take birth control, however, many states still banned the sale of contraceptives.

1973- Roe V. Wade ruled that women’s constitutional rights were violated by states who banned abortions. States still were banning abortions.

Since then, states have put tighter restrictions on abortions making them less accessible to everyone

Ethically & Morally, It is Our Duty as Social Workers to Defend Reproductive Rights

# data[].attributes.body
The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Code of Ethics identifies “social justice” as a core value of the practice and demands that social workers “challenge social injustice

As social workers, we are obligated by our Code of Ethics to educate, support, and advocate for all of our clients, including those that are or become pregnant

We must allow women to make their own reproductive health choices.

All we can do is provide support and information to guide them, but at the end of the day, they are their own person and must make that decision without our influence

Griswold v. Connecticut, 381 U.S. 479 (1965) - this case held that married couples had a constitutional "right to privacy" regarding decisions about childbearing and that a state ban on the sale of contraception was thus unconstitutional.

Eisenstadt v. Baird, 405 U.S. 438 (1972) - this case extended the right to contraception to unmarried individuals.

Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973) - the case that held that state bans on abortions were unconstitutional.

Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey, 505 U.S. 833 (1992) - this case laid out the "undue burden test," under which state regulations can survive constitutional review so long as they do not place a "substantial obstacle in the path of a woman seeking an abortion of a nonviable fetus."

Stenberg v. Carhart (Carhart I), 530 U.S. 914 (2000) - this case struck down a Nebraska "partial-birth abortion" law because it did not include a health exception and it posed an undue burden on women who needed second-trimester abortions as it banned the most common second-trimester method.

Gonzales v. Carhart and Gonzales v. Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc. (Carhart II), 550 U.S. 124 (2007) - this case upheld a federal ban - the "Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003."
