    • 9/119/11 jährt sich zum 20. Mal. Welche Spuren hat dieses Ereignis in der globalen und nationalen Verfassungs- und Menschenrechtsarchitektur hinterlassen? Dieser Frage wollen wir in einer Folge von Online-Symposien nachgehen. Gefördert von der Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung bringen wir Rechtswissenschaftler_innen aus verschiedenen Regionen und Rechtskulturen darüber ins Gespräch, was aus den Erfahrungen der vergangenen zwei Jahrzehnte in Hinblick auf Völkerrecht und internationale Menschenrechte, Asyl und Migration, Überwachung im öffentlichen und privaten Raum, Presse- und Informationsfreiheit, Menschenwürde sowie Rechtsstaatlichkeit und Justiz zu lernen ist.

Dobbs in the EU

EU leaders and institutions have reacted strongly to the US Supreme Court’s ruling in Dobbs, which overturned Roe v. Wade and held that the right to abortion was not consitutionally protected. Shortly after the decision was made public, the European Parliament adopted a resolution condemning Dobbs, and calling for the right to abortion to be included in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.

Privacy in Peril

On Saturday, 25 June 2022, American women woke up to a different reality – one day earlier, in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, five justices on the US Supreme Court decided that the US Constitution does not protect a woman’s right to terminate a pregnancy. This undoing of women’s autonomy comes in part from the Dobbs majority’s failure to recognize that the right to terminate a pregnancy derives from a right to privacy. Roe and Casey recognized that reproductive freedom implicates bodily integrity and physical privacy, along with a decisional privacy interest in the critical life choices surrounding reproduction and family planning. In the space of a single day, the Dobbs Court eviscerated the freedom and the privacy rights Americans have relied on since 1973. Moreover, in an era driven by an information economy and rapidly expanding surveillance technologies, the Dobbs Court’s eradication of the right to terminate a pregnancy also severely compromises informational privacy, which involves the right to shield information from disclosure.

Accessing Information about Abortion

The U.S. Supreme Court decision of 24 June 2022 overruled a half century of precedent supporting a constitutional right to abortion across the U.S. established in 1973 in Roe v. Wade. Essentially, Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization left the decision on abortion to individual states. The ruling, although astonishing, was not necessarily a surprise, after its draft had leaked a few weeks earlier. But to the surprise of many, almost immediately, Facebook and Instagram started removing posts informing about access to abortion pills, the Associated Press and Vice first reported.

The Logic of Patriarchy

With two decisions, the highest court in the U.S. judicial system shed the mantle of law. In Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, the two-thirds majority of five male justices and one female justice of the Supreme Court declared the abortion right, vouchsafed in the legendary Roe v. Wade decision in 1973, to be moot and gave its blessing to Mississippi's abortion ban. Within just a week, the same majority, half appointed by Donald Trump, tore the controversial right to keep and bear arms from its dogmatic moorings in the Second Amendment. As overtly political measures, both rulings combine a preference for patriarchal society with a bonus for toxic masculinity. It remains to be asked how long the structurally minoritized women justices of the Court will participate in this legitimacy game Continue reading >>

Identitätspolitik als emanzipatorisches Instrument in der Debatte um den Schwangerschaftsabbruch

Der 24.06.2022 war ein Tag voller großer Entscheidungen. So wurde im deutschen Bundestag nach jahrelangem Kampf beschlossen, § 219a StGB endlich vollkommen zu streichen. Umso tragischer war, dass am selben Tag in den USA das Grundsatzurteil Roe v. Wade aus dem Jahr 1973 aufgehoben wurde. Das Recht auf Schwangerschaftsabbruch, bis dato ein Verfassungsrecht, existiert nun dort nicht mehr. Aus einer identitätspolitischen Perspektive wird sichtbar, wieso beide Ereignisse fundamental miteinander verknüpft sind – und wie bestimmte Positionen in öffentlichen Debatten durch strategische Delegitimierungsprozesse aus dem Diskurs verdrängt werden können.

Dobbs kills Roe

Am Freitag, den 24. Juni 2022 hat der Supreme Court der USA das Recht auf Abtreibung, wie es durch die 50 Jahre lang bestehende Rechtsprechung aus Roe v. Wade und Planned Parenthood v. Casey festgelegt war, außer Kraft gesetzt. In der Entscheidung Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization hat der Supreme Court festgestellt, dass die Verfassung kein Recht auf Abtreibung enthalte.
