A Critical Analysis of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization and the Consequences of Fetal Personhood
In this paper, I will examine the Supreme Court of the United States’ (SCOTUS) arguments in the majority decision in Dobbs v.

This newer view simultaneously grants that fetuses are more than simply “clumps of cells,” that they are, to some extent, enti…
