Checking the Box-es: Attempting to Subvert Roe

This Article analyzes the issue of a woman’s right to legalized abortion and state attempts to circumvent the precedential U.S. Supreme Court decisions recognizing a woman’s right to bodily autonomy, using the state of Indiana as a persistent example of such attempts. A woman’s right to legal abortion is a public health concern. Protection of legal abortion is found through the right to privacy, a right inferred from several amendments to the United States Bill of Rights. The Supreme Court’s inaction in the Indiana litigation and more recently, in the Texas case, leaves many women who seek abortions with no recourse.
