Fulfilling The Promise Of Roe: A Pathway For Meaningful Pre-Abortion Consultation, Thomas J. Molony
Fulfilling The Promise Of Roe: A Pathway For Meaningful Pre-Abortion Consultation, Thomas J. Molony
Catholic University Law Review
In Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down regulations that it believed would inhibit a woman’s ability to receive meaningful personal consultation and support before choosing to have an abortion.

This article argues that the reality is that the PPACA has done nothing to change the admissibility of collateral sources nor has it enhanced …
