Joint Statement on Roe v. Wade from the Deans of the University of Washington Schools of Nursing, Social Work, and Public Health
On June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) issued a historic 6-3 decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, giving individual states the power to make decisions about the legality of abortion in their jurisdictions. This marks the first time in the history of the United States that the Court has taken away a given right by overturning a 50-year-old, constitutionally protected liberty.
