  • 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

  • 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."

    • 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

    • 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
