Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
Abstract
The note examines the systemic barriers faced by military women and incarcerated individuals in accessing abortion services, despite Supreme Court rulings that establish a woman's right to abortion. It highlights how statutory bans, restrictive policies, and logistical challenges disproportionately affect these groups, arguing that their unique circumstances—such as overseas deployment or incarceration—subject them to additional layers of legal and practical obstacles. The analysis underscores the need for legislative or executive action to address these inequities and ensure constitutional rights are upheld.
