Reproductive technologies and the federal constitutional vacuum

We are on the cusp of some revolutionary new reproductive technologies. Yet the Supreme Court has been silent on how to think about what the Constitution might have to say about the last wave of technologies dating back to the early 1980s. Questions about the propriety of destroying embryos, whether women can lawfully agree to sell their reproductive labor as surrogates, gene editing, radically new forms of family formation, as well as questions of dignity, access, and equality, cut to the quick of what kind of country we are.

Public opinion on abortion has shifted 4 years after Dobbs decision overturned Roe v. Wade

But four years later, one of the most impactful developments has been less visible: a significant, sustained and politically consequential shift in public opinion.
