Seema Mohapatra, Associate Professor of Law and Dean’s Fellow at the IU McKinney School of Law talked to The Indiana Lawyer for a June 12 story about new abortion cases and laws by state legislatures, noting that a new law in Missouri highlights an important piece of the ongoing abortion debate: Roe v. Wade doesn’t necessarily have to be overturned for abortion access to be limited.

“Chipping away” at abortion access will continue to happen as anti-abortion activists continue to work in legislatures and federal courts, Professor Mohapatra said.
