More than 350 lawyers and legal professionals who had abortions file amicus brief with the Supreme Court as part of the latest landmark abortion case.
More than 350 lawyers and legal professionals who had abortions filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court Monday as part of the latest landmark abortion case.
The Supreme Court will hear arguments in June Medical Services vs. Gee, an abortion case out of Louisiana, on March 4, 2020. In question is a Louisiana law that requires abortion providers to have admitting privileges with a nearby hospital. A similar law, out of Texas, was struck down by the Supreme Court as unconstitutional in 2016.
The brief from legal professionals reads,"they would not have been able to realize their personal and/or professional goals were it not for their ability to control their reproductive lives." "A doctor's appointment years ago is not the most important part of who I am, but it has allowed my life to be everything that it is today," one woman, who was accepted to Harvard Law School shortly after getting an abortion, said in the brief.
A number of the women in the amicus briefs explain why they would not have been able to personally challenge laws, including potential stigmas they may have faced personally and professionally. For the 2016 case, Whole Woman's Health vs. Hellerstedt, a number of women, including over 110 legal professionals, also participated in filing amicus briefs.
