Abstract

ABSTRACT As concerns for reproductive rights continue to be debated across the United States, the June 24th, 2022, U.S. Supreme Court ruling in the Mississippi case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization that overturned Roe v. Wade essentially upended the disciplinary foundations and ethical underpinnings of helping professions. The Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) does not mandate the integration of reproductive justice content in social work education. And yet, threats to bodily autonomy burgeon across the United States prior to and after the dismantling of Roe v. Wade, affecting the populations social workers serve. The time has come to talk about, not around, reproductive justice in social work education as well as how social workers are being subverted from using their professional training and ethical commitment to clients. It is the intent of this article to explore approaches for safeguarding professional values and ethical principles during these sociopolitically tumultuous times.
