This program will provide a historical overview of the legal landscape both pre and post Roe v. Wade. Panelists will discuss the long-term, systematic dismantling of Roe which presaged the eventual decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. They will then discuss the impact of the Dobbs decision on equal protection, liberty, and privacy jurisprudence, as well as the consequences to reproductive and LGBTQ+ rights. 

Panelists:
Colleen Connell, Executive Director, American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois
Linda Sheryl Greene, Dean and MSU Foundation Professor of Law, Michigan State University College of Law 
Camilla Taylor, Deputy Legal Director for Litigation, Lambda Legal
