In the aftermath of the unprecedented Supreme Court leak, pundits, lawyers, and intellectuals across the country rushed to comment on the event and the possible overturning of Roe v. Wade. Professors at Notre Dame, often at the top of their respective fields, were no exception.

Tamara Kay and Susan L. Ostermann, professors in Notre Dame’s Keough School of Global Affairs, wrote a piece titled “Forced pregnancy and childbirth are violence against women — and also terrible health policy” in Salon. In the piece, they argue that overturning Roe and Planned Parenthood v. Casey “will destroy lives and futures.”
