Description

The Reproductive Rights Law Initiative (RRLI) at Case Western Reserve University's School of Law is hosting a daylong conference called The ReproCussions of Barriers to Care: Youth Access and the Fight for Bodily Autonomy. This conference will explore the legal and structural barriers facing young people as they attempt to access essential reproductive and gender-affirming health care. In a post-Dobbs landscape marked by escalating parental consent requirements, criminalization of abortion access, and hostile legislation targeting trans health care and sex education, this conference will gather legal experts, medical providers, and advocates to analyze the legal doctrines at play and imagine a more just framework for youth bodily autonomy.
