Assistant Professor Noah Smith-Drelich Explains How Congress Could Codify Abortion Rights
President Joe Biden is now calling on Congress to codify Roe v. Wade and federally legalize abortion nationwide. “It means that Congress would pass a law that would provide many of the same protections that the Supreme Court previously recognized as being constitutional via Roe v. Wade, whether or not that would stand up against the current Supreme Court I think is anybody’s question,” said Noah Smith-Drelich, assistant professor of law at Chicago-Kent College of Law.
