Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Four global models of abortion regulation include the model of “privacy”, of which the United States was a prime example until a recent Supreme Court decision declared that there is no constitutional right to obtain a medically safe abortion.
Moral decisions such as whether an individual is entitled to terminate a pregnancy, the court declared, should be made by elected state policymakers, not the Supreme Court.
This lecture explains why the ‘devolution’ of reproductive rights is bad national constitutional law, bad politics, and, for the millions of women unable to travel distances and out of state for medical care, bad public health. So what now?
This event will be moderated by Professor Ngaire Woods.
