The Supreme Court ignored claims from human rights experts and academics that abortion is an international human right during oral arguments in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case.
The justices of the Supreme Court did not raise any questions about international human rights law during oral arguments in the Dobbs case even though UN human rights experts petitioned the court to overturn Mississippi’s ban on abortions carried out after the 15th week of pregnancy, the moment when children in the womb can feel pain.
The snub leaves open the question of how, if at all, the justices view international human rights law.
