LAW-8042 Reproductive Rights and the Law
This seminar will explore the federal and state regulation of reproductive healthcare. Topics will likely include contraception, sterilization, abortion, pregnancy and maternal healthcare, gender affirming care, and assisted reproductive technologies. Throughout the course, we will interrogate the ways in which limitations on the provision of, and access to, a broad range of reproductive healthcare services impact marginalized communities, including low-income women, transgender individuals, people of color, and people living in rural communities. We will also explore the ways in which the right to reproductive healthcare impacts other political, social, and economic rights. Students will write a final paper on a topic of interest related to reproductive justice and approved by the professor. This course satisfies the REAL menu, counts toward the Health and Biomedical Law Concentration, and can be used to satisfy the Legal Writing Requirement (with advanced approval of the professor).
