Listen to the recording of our March 2 discussion with Diana Greene Foster and Mariana Horne about reproductive health care in the United States. These experts in reproductive health care access shared their perspectives on what has changed since the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2022 ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization overturned Roe v. Wade, which for nearly 50 years had protected the constitutional right to abortion.
