TODAY at 12 noon ET! Join us for a timely discussion on abortion access "After Dobbs"—essential for hospital legal counsel and health law professionals.

Join us for the next Future of Health Care Series event: After Dobbs: How the Supreme Court Ended Roe but Not Abortion. This panel examines how abortion access has evolved in the wake of Dobbs. 📅 Fri, Feb. 6 | 12:00–1:30 PM ET | Virtual via Zoom 🔗 Free registration: tinyurl.com/3d72p84a

It was an honor to have @jillwieberlens.bsky.social present her book Stillbirth & the Law (@ucpress.bsky.social) at the Seton Hall Law faculty colloquium today! Great discussion on reproductive justice and the criminalization of pregnancy and stillbirth. Book here: www.ucpress.edu/books/stillb...

Terrific piece on the current state of abortion access by @dsc250.bsky.social & @carolejoffe.bsky.social - there is a lot to rage about these days but we still need those rage donations for abortion care: msmagazine.com/2026/01/21/a...

Professors David S. Cohen & Carole Joffe had the opportunity to conduct 3 rounds of interviews about abortion in early 2022, then following the Dobbs ruling, & again 6 months later. Their book, AFTER DOBBS, comes out this year.

Looking forward to moderating this important discussion—and deeply grateful to our outstanding speakers Francine Coeytaux, @dsc250.bsky.social, @carolejoffe.bsky.social, & Tammi Kromenaker for bringing their expertise to this critical issue in reproductive health. Hope you can join us!

Huge thanks to our amazing panelists for such a powerful conversation at our Stillbirth and the Law event. Grateful for your insight and candor-and for moving this work forward! @jillwieberlens.bsky.social @auwclhealthlaw.bsky.social

I am just thrilled to have my new article Third-Party Accommodations officially out @michlawreview.bsky.social! The MLR editors were a pleasure to work with and sharing the same volume as @kovarsky.bsky.social & Daniel Fryer is the cherry on top. Read it: repository.law.umich.edu/mlr/vol124/i...

Proud to see our next Future of Health Care panel taking on stillbirth prevention—an issue that deserves far more attention. Join us Nov. 13 (12–1:30 PM ET) for this critical dialogue.

“With consideration for women’s suffering in pregnancy on the back burner, and blame and accountability taking center stage, we should be wary of how pregnancy directives will be mobilized in the criminal legal system.” @azizaahmed www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Thrilled that HLPP is hosting Risk and Resistance on Oct 3! Honored to celebrate @azizaahmed.bsky.social’s groundbreaking book and so grateful to our amazing co-sponsors, speakers, and panelists who will make this such an inspiring event. #RiskandResistance #healthlaw

I'm so excited to read @profhilaryallen.bsky.social new serialized book explaining #fintechdystopia to not very tech savvy folks like me!

Breaking: Transgender people lose Skrmetti, SCOTUS rules that Tennessee's law banning gender affirming care is not subject to heightened scrutiny. I'll be reading and reporting more fully today. Terrible day for transgender people. Full decision here: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Re-upping this for no particular reason.

Several states have adopted shield laws to protect providers of gender affirming care, including from out-of-state actors who want to punish them for treating ban-state residents. Some states cover repro but not GAC. Know your state’s law & advocate for your state leaders to strengthen protections

Sotomayor points out the similarities between the Skrmetti ruling allowing discrimination against transgender people's medical care to Virginia's argument for its interracial marriage ban in Loving.

Revoking the EMTALA guidance for abortion was expected and will have a tiny impact, but we should nevertheless be horrified that Republicans have fought so hard to defend abortion bans that prohibit women from accessing emergency abortions. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/u...

Excited to learn from our amazing health law team this week at #HLP2025! @auwclhealthlaw.bsky.social

Is this successful lobbying? Or exactly what someone would say to Senator Hawley if they were blowing him off and knew they were eventually going to change nothing?

I’m bad at tagging people, but all the greats are here: @mccuskey.bsky.social @leslieewolf.bsky.social @manofsilver.bsky.social @profgoldberg.bsky.social @micahberman.bsky.social I will continue to add folks as the day goes on!

Thanks for Kim Mutcherson for saying what needs to be said. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/24/o...

Such a generative roundtable and engaged audience at “Losing the Rhetorical War: Pregnancy Criminalization, Fetal Personhood, and the Need for New Strategies” ! thx @professormutch.bsky.social @mayamanian.bsky.social @lizchiarello.bsky.social @pregnancyjust.bsky.social #LSAChicago2025

Law enforcement is monitoring everyone’s prescription medicines, even though that surveillance has no benefit & “is associated with increased illicit drug overdose mortality and other negative health outcomes.” @jennoliva.bsky.social on the “new” just-as-punitive war on drugs inquest.org/everythi...

This is a terrific opportunity for anyone with a background in comms and reproductive health and rights!

Why did this woman in South Carolina have to wait two weeks to get a D&C after learning her baby didn't have a heartbeat? Thread below to explain why abortion bans are over broad and devastating miscarriage care. people.com/woman-forced...

Excited for this terrific program on trust in the healthcare system!

Reminder - the deadline for the @auwclhealthlaw.bsky.social writing competition is May 5th! Please share with your health law students.

Thanks @nusl.bsky.social for an amazing conf on 3 years post-Dobbs, esp @councilormehreen.bsky.social & @weparmet.bsky.social! It’s inspiring to be with RJ scholars who I look up to. @dsc250.bsky.social @professormutch.bsky.social @mayamanian.bsky.social @myrishaslewis.bsky.social & many more

HUGE WIN: A federal judge just issued a lengthy TRO prohibiting the Trump administration from freezing federal funds to Maine over their policies protecting transgender youth. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

In the strongest terms, I condemn the immigration court’s decision today. Even more vociferously, I condemn Rubio’s attempt to deport Mahmoud Khalil for a thought crime. This marks a turning point in this country - a sharp pivot away from freedom of speech & association. My heart is broken.

Friday Night Democracy Massacre

The four law firms that it was announced are now Trump collaborators -- Kirkland & Ellis, Latham & Watkins, Simpson Thacher, and A&O Shearman Sterling -- ALSO agreed today to "Disavow DEI" as part of a settlement with EEOC. Why would any new associate join such a place? Why would any partner stay?

Thanks to Tomar Pierson-Brown for creating this systems map of today’s symposium on Health Law & Advancing Equitable Access to Care for Youth - this brought the intersections between each panel to life! tinyurl.com/2hshd778 @auwclhealthlaw.bsky.social

Our final panel on #youth health law & adolescent access to #repro health care post-Dobbs. Thank you to our fabulous speakers for tying all the threads of today’s panels together! tinyurl.com/2hshd778 @auwclhealthlaw.bsky.social

Key theme of this panel is how “cruelty is the cultural currency.” Painful and powerful words.

Thanks to our courageous panelists speaking out on advancing access to care for LGBTQ+ youth: tinyurl.com/2hshd778 @auwclhealthlaw.bsky.social

Immensely grateful for the very sobering and inspiring keynote speech by @drarvindvenkat.bsky.social We need more political leaders like Dr. Venkat! Recording will be posted in a few days here: tinyurl.com/nyy2c2r7 @auwclhealthlaw.bsky.social

Second panel today on social determinants & educational systems impact on #youth health equity. You can watch the recording of these amazing speakers later if you’re missing today: tinyurl.com/2hshd778 @auwclhealthlaw.bsky.social
