Decostruire Dobbs: le “questioni aperte” tra politiche giudiziarie ed epistemiche
No full textDecostruire Dobbs: le “questioni aperte” tra politiche giudiziarie ed epistemiche
Il saggio analizza Dobbs e il relativo dibattito italiano per discuterne la tendenza a depoliticizzare le questioni aperte. L’Autore critica anzitutto l’idea che l’opinione di maggioranza sia più ideologica di quella di Roberts e di minoranza. Un’analisi condotta con le categorie statunitensi del costituzionalismo conservatore e progressista mostra difatti come esse siano tutte espressive di un’inclinazione politica di fondo dei giudici verso l’autorità sociale. Su un secondo piano, metodologico, l’Autore avanza quindi la tesi che la natura politica di tali presupposti ultimi rappresenti un problema non solo per la legittimazione delle Corti (come già riconosciuto nel dibattito sulle politiche giudiziarie), ma anche per la scienza costituzionale, la cui legittimazione scientifica a esprimersi su questioni aperte è invero ridotta dall’assenza nel contesto italiano di pratiche di critica delle politiche epistemiche che influenzano i processi di produzione del sapere costituzionalistico.Deconstructing Dobbs: Hard Cases between Judicial and Epistemic Politics
The essay analyzes Dobbs and the Italian debate it generated to discuss a scholarly disposition to depoliticize hard cases. The Author first challenges the idea that the majority opinion is more ideological than the concurring and the dissent. By resorting to the categories of conservative and progressive constitutionalism, the analysis indeed shows how they all equally express judges’ underlying political inclination towards social authority. On a second, methodological level, the Author thus proposes the thesis that the political nature of these underlying assumptions questions not only the legitimacy of the Courts (as widely discussed in the debate on judicial politics), but also raises concerns for constitutional science, whose scientific legitimacy in tackling hard cases is in fact significantly compromised in the Italian context due to the lack of a critical analysis of the epistemic politics influencing the process of production of constitutional knowledge
Life After Dobbs: An Investigation into Abortion Bans in America
No full textWhat are the impacts of overturning Roe v. Wade? What happens when abortion is no longer a constitutionally protected right? And how does that impact pregnant people and the medical professionals that care for them? This paper explores the far reaching medical and social consequences of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, by examining state laws on reproductive care, maternal healthcare deserts, maternal death rates, updated hospital guidelines, and population shifts. The author expects to find that the consequences of Dobbs are much more serious and insidious than anyone realized, with the social consequences being particularly problematic because they are less apparent and harder to notice at an individual level.https://orb.binghamton.edu/research_days_posters_2025/1148/thumbnail.jp

Jackson Women's Health Organization Magisterská práce Autor Teze: Bc. Kateřina Partlová Studijní program: SAS Supervizor: doc. PhDr. Mgr. Francis Raška, Ph.D. Rok obhajoby: 2024 ABSTRAKT Kulturní válka mezi americkými konzervativci a progresivisty v otázce interrupcí v 21. století nabrala na síle v roce 2022 rozhodnutím Nejvyššího soudu USA v případu Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, které zrušilo ústavnost práva na aborci. Tato kvalitativní případová studie si klade za cíl prozkoumat vývoj protiaborční strategie obhajoby a strategických cílů významného konzervativního think-tanku The Heritage Foundation, v období prezidenství J. Bidena, konkrétně v letech 2021-2023 před a po rozhodnutí Nejvyššího soudu ve věci Dobbs. Ve studii se věnuji protiaborčním rámcům, které jsou konzervativními, ideologicko-marketingovými a sociálními konstrukty aborční problematiky. Ideologické zarámování, které Heritage používá (např. "pro ženu", "pro zdraví", "žádné smrtící násilí v děloze") je souborem činitelů, které podporují protiaborční politické pozice, a mají změnit široce rozšířené základní liberální...CHARLES UNIVERSITY FACULTY OF SOCIAL SCIENCES Institute of International Studies Department of North American Studies Reproductive Rights During the Biden Administration Before and After the US Supreme Court Ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization Master's Thesis Author of the Thesis: Bc. Kateřina Partlová Study Program: North American Studies Supervisor: doc. PhDr. Mgr. Francis Raška, Ph.D. Year of the Defense: 2024 Abstract The culture war between American Conservatives and Progressives on the abortion issue in the 21st century gained momentum with the 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization US Supreme Court decision that struck down constitutional right to abortion. This case study with a qualitative design seeks to examine the development of The Heritage Foundation's anti-abortion advocacy strategy and objectives under the Biden Administration, specifically in 2021-2023 before and after the US Supreme Court ruling in Dobbs. I seek to identify anti-abortion frames, which are marketed conservative ideological social constructs of the abortion issue. Heritage's ideological framework (e.g. "pro-woman", "pro-health", "no lethal violence in the womb") is a set of agents that promote anti-abortion political positions and are also designed to shift underlying and widespread liberal...Department of North American StudiesKatedra severoamerických studiíFakulta sociálních vědFaculty of Social Science
