In their groundbreaking new book, The Unbearable Egregious Wrongness of Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, legal scholars Michael Spivey and Kelsey S. Barnes offer a comprehensive and unflinching analysis of one of the most important Supreme Court decisions in recent history, including its devastating effects on women's rights, constitutional law, and judicial integrity in the United States.
The Supreme Court's 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, is openly criticized by Spivey and Barnes, who claim that it is a radical departure from precedent and a complete distortion of constitutional logic and historical reality. The authors meticulously analyze Justice Samuel Alito's ruling, using thorough legal commentary and annotation, to demonstrate that it is based on ideological bias, selective history, and faulty reasoning, rather than a fair interpretation of the Constitution.
Spivey writes that "Dobbs is not simply wrong; it is intolerably wrong. Under the guise of constitutional interpretation, it callously deprives women of the most personal and intimate right—the right to control their own bodies."
Spivey and Barnes analyze the decision at every level, from its misuse of the Glucksberg test to its denial of women's equality under the Fourteenth Amendment, using decades of combined classroom and legal research. By relying on a "cherry-picked" and deceptive version of history, the book demonstrates how the majority view falls short of its own criteria of "deeply rooted tradition."
This book is essential reading for law students, legal practitioners, academics, and anybody worried about the decline of civil liberties. It makes a critical addition to the national discussion about constitutional integrity, judicial responsibility, and human rights in the wake of Dobbs. America.
