Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization is an influential case in the United States that has stirred heated debate over reproductive rights and ethical issues. Jackson Women's Health Organization, Mississippi's only abortion clinic then, filed a lawsuit against Thomas E. Dobbs, state health officer with the Mississippi State Department of Health, in March 2018 contesting the Mississippi law banning abortion. The verdict in this case was on June 24, 2022, the U.S. The Supreme Court upheld Mississippi abortion law and made it clear that there is no constitutional right to abortion, The votes were 6-3 and with them also overruling Roe v. Wade. (Dobbs V. Jackson Women’s Health Organization | Constitution Center, n.d.) The goal of this research is to conduct an extensive investigation and analysis to identify the key unethical and immoral issues in the case. This will be accomplished by analyzing both parties' claims in the case and determining whether they are consistent with legal norms, as well as by investigating the ethical implications of abortion, reproductive autonomy, and the more general social consequences of limiting access to reproductive healthcare services. The findings of this study will help to deepen our understanding of the legal and ethical components of Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.
