Supreme Court's ruling overturning Roe v. Wade “will have huge political ramifications”
June 24, 2022
On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, ending nearly 50 years of constitutional protections for abortion. The ruling is expected to result in abortion bans in nearly half the states. Harvard Kennedy School Professor of Public Policy Maya Sen is a political scientist who studies the politics of the judiciary and leads SCOTUSPoll, a project jointly coordinated by Harvard, Stanford, and the University of Texas that studies public opinion of Supreme Court rulings. We talked to her about the historic Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization ruling, how it aligns with public opinion, and the possible political and legal ramifications.
