Join the GW Law ACS Student Chapter as we welcome attorneys from the Center for Reproductive Rights and the American Civil Liberties Union for a conversation about recent litigation surrounding access to medication abortion during the pandemic. At this event our panel will discuss the Supreme Court's recent decision requiring patients to make in person visits to abortion clinics during the health crisis, and what this decision means for the future of reproductive rights.
Earlier this fall Justice Alito gave a speech to the Federalist Society which, among other things, described “religious liberty” as something that is “becoming a disfavored right”. In this speech he challenged the landmark case of Employment Division v. Smith, which held that the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment does not exempt individuals from neutral laws of general applicability. One of the cases before the Supreme Court, Fulton v. City of Philadelphia, could potentially overturn the decision in Smith. Additionally, both Justice Alito and Justice Thomas indicated earlier this fall that they had interest in overturning Obergefell v. Hodges, which created the constitutional right to marry for same-sex couples, due to the fact that it protected a “novel constitutional right over the religious liberty interests explicitly protected in the First Amendment.” With clear indication from some Supreme Court justices that religious liberties ought to take priority over LGBTQ rights in these cases, what can and should be done in response? What are some of the possible outcomes of Fulton and what implications might these outcomes have for advocates of LGBTQ+ rights?
