Political Rewind: U.S. Supreme Court hears arguments today that could reshape abortion access in Ga.
Wednesday on Political Rewind: The United States Supreme Court takes up one of its most significant cases in decades today, Dobbs v. Jackson Women\u2019s Health Organization. The Mississippi case could overturn the landmark decision giving women the right to choose how to deal with their own pregnancies. A conservative court could abandon Roe v. Wade, which has been the law of the land since 1973.\n\nOur panel discussed the arguments on both sides of the case and take a deep dive into the history of abortion rights before and after Roe. What happens if states are left to make their own laws about the legality of abortion? How will the eventual decision in the Mississippi impact Georgia\u2019s own restrictive abortion law?\n\nBut first:\xa0Atlanta city councilmember Andre Dickens was elected the next Mayor of Atlanta. What can we expect from his tenure in the job?\n\nPanelists:\n\nGreg Bluestein\xa0\u2014 Political reporter, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution\n\nDr. Karen Owen\xa0\u2014 Political science professor, University of West Georgia\n\nDr. Randy Beck\xa0\u2014 Professor of constitutional law, University of Georgia\n\nDr. Subasri Narasimhan\xa0\u2014 Professor in Rolling School of Public Health and Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Reproductive Health Research in the Southeast, Emory University
