Abstract

ABSTRACT Laws structure people’s “lived citizenships.” This article considers the ways in which Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization gave states the power to regulate reproduction in ways that have disproportionate consequences for pregnant people with disabilities. Specifically, Dobbs did not eliminate the right to bodily integrity, but rather put conditions on who can claim a right to bodily integrity in federal courts. Moreover, uneven changes to Medicaid financing of abortions have created a “postcode lottery.” People’s ability to receive care is determined by a politics of place – or even individual providers. These policies create structural inequalities.
