Gonzales v. Carhart:

Continuing the Class Critique of the Reproductive Rights Doctrine and Movement

Author: Pamela Bridgewater
Published: 59 S.C. L. Rev. 827 (2008)
Professor Bridgewater’s article places the Gonzales v. Carhart decision within the context of the reproductive rights movement, arguing that the Court’s decision and the movement itself ignore the reproductive freedom of poor women in particular. The article concludes that the Gonzales decision will have a disproportionately negative impact on the reproductive rights of poor women, resulting in heightened obstacles such as decreased access to abortion doctors.
