NEWS: Reproductive Rights Discussion Incites Tension on Campus

This summer break marked the second anniversary of the Dobbs decision that overturned the precedent set by Roe v. Wade about the constitutional limits of bodily autonomy — most notably, the right to abortion.

Since 2022 when the decision was made, 14 states (most of which are clustered in the South), have overseen a total ban on abortion, even in cases dealing with protecting health of the mother. Amber Thurman, a 28-year-old woman, was one victim from lack of care in Georgia; in lieu of the shift in Georgia’s law, medical professionals hesitated to perform an emergency abortion that would have saved her life.

Her story is not the only instance of a worst-case scenario coming to fruition, or even in Georgia alone. Outraged pro-life advocates have been stirring the pot with pro-life supporters all over America in the wake of Dobbs. A heated debate on the topic was brought to Salisbury University students’ own backyards Sept. 24 when members of the anti-abortion groupStudents for Life of America came to Red Square.
