Abstract
ABSTRACT Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization took the unprecedented step of revoking a constitutional right that citizens had relied upon for half a century. The opinion created a legal chaos with no clear answers to medical crises. It also targets victims who are particularly vulnerable due to financial, medical, or legal constraints. This article examines what groups have become legal targets in the wake of Dobbs, including medically compromised patients, the intellectually disabled, immigrants, and doctors. Also discussed are those who cause abortion but have not been targeted by Dobbs (such as biological fathers and criminals who commit acts of rape or incest). A discussion of who is doing the targeting examines officials acting in a law enforcement capacity and “civilians” who have financial incentives to target vulnerable victims. Recommendations are made for effective abortion policy.
