Professor Drobac Talks about Roe Overturn with Independent Radio
06/30/2022
IU McKinney Professor Jennifer Drobac talked with WFHB radio regarding the U.S. Supreme Court decision which overturned Roe v. Wade. The station is an independent volunteer-driven radio station that covers southern Indiana.
The ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization goes beyond abortion, Professor Drobac said in the interview. The court talked about what liberty means in its ruling, finding that a right to privacy is not part of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Professor Drobac’s interview begins at roughly the 9-minute mark.
Professor Drobac is a widely known expert in sexual harassment law. She is an author of the textbook, Sexual Harassment Law: History, Cases and Practice, recently published by Carolina Academic Press. She co-authored the book with Professor Carrie N. Baker of Smith College and Professor Rigel C. Oliveri of the University of Missouri School of Law. Professor Drobac is at work on her next book, The Myth of Consent, which is under contract with Cambridge University Press. That work will explore the neuroscience of adult decision making and how the science should influence law reform, particularly the law of consent. She is a Samuel R. Rosen Professor of Law.
