Managing Partner Sharon Krevor-Weisbaum participated on a panel where she with a Rabbi and an abortion provider explored the rabbinic, legal, and medical implications of the Supreme Court’s leaked draft opinion in the case of Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health.
The program, entitled “The End of Roe v. Wade? A Jewish Perspective on Reproductive Rights and What This Could Mean for Our Country,” was hosted by Pikesville’s Chizuk Amuno Congregation and moderated by Sally Grant, a former President of the Maryland ACLU and strong advocate for women’s rights. Sharon was honored to address in-person and virtual attendees alongside the congregation’s Rabbi Debi Wechsler and Dr. Chavi Kahn, Director of Abortion Services for Planned Parenthood of Maryland.
Sharon discussed how the forthcoming Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, the draft for which was leaked earlier this year, will impact abortion access for women throughout the country. She also addressed its potential implications on other critically important Constitutional rights founded in the right to privacy, including marriage equality.
“Like so many individuals, I am very concerned by the draft opinion written by Justice Alito,” said Sharon Krevor-Weisbaum, Managing Partner of Brown, Goldstein & Levy. “If Roe is indeed overturned, access to critical health care will be curtailed in difficult ways for many women across the country. This would also be the first time the United States Supreme Court has eliminated a fundamental right upon which women have relied for decades.”
The program was co-sponsored by more than a dozen leading Jewish organizations from the Baltimore region, including the Baltimore Jewish Council.
