Introduction: Issues of Reproductive Rights: Life, Liberty & the Pursuit of Policy

On March 7, 2014, the Journal of Law and Health of Cleveland-Marshall College of Law hosted a symposium entitled “Issues of Reproductive Rights: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Policy” in response to recent developments in the regulation of women’s reproductive rights.

The symposium presenters addressed key legal developments in each stage of reproductive health: contraceptive rights, decision-making during gestation, and legal consequences during pregnancy after a pregnancy has been terminated
