History

Historical Context

Justice Harry Blackmun’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision created a constitutional right to abortion, a principle upheld by Planned Parenthood v. Casey in 1992. The 2022 Dobbs ruling revoked that right, leading to ongoing legal challenges across states. Today, Olivia Rodrigo’s Daisy Chain Fields Festival partners with reproductive-health advocates to highlight the fight.
