Abstract:
The issue in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization revolves around the constitutionality of a Mississippi law banning most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, directly challenging the precedent set by Roe v. Wade (1973) and Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992). This case presents a complex intersection of legal, moral, and ethical considerations. At its core, it questions the balance between a woman's right to bodily autonomy and the state's interest in protecting fetal life. The ethical violation here pertains to the potential infringement upon women's reproductive rights and autonomy, particularly their right to choose abortion as established by precedent. The Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization case underscores the ethical imperative to protect and uphold individuals' reproductive rights and autonomy. By engaging in ethical analysis and advocating for equitable and evidence-based policies, stakeholders can work towards ensuring access to safe, legal, and timely abortion care, thus upholding principles of autonomy, justice, and beneficence.
