Dean of the University of California Law School: Roe v. Wade ‘back on the clock’ at a time when women were ‘treated like commodities’

The chancellor and dean of UC Hastings Law School in San Francisco, California, responded by reversing the Supreme Court decision. Rowe vs. Wade “I’m excited for my grandchildren,” he added on Friday, saying the decision effectively “turns back time” to a time when “women were not allowed to vote” and were “treated like property”.

“The Supreme Court’s strike decision today is Roe v. Wade is devastating on many levels,” Dean David Feigman said in an open letter, before explaining that the inability of women to kill their unborn children means that time goes back another century. .

“This decision goes back not only to 1973, but to a century where women had no voice and were often treated as property,” Feigman wrote. “I’m looking after my grandchildren.”

“Those who oppose abortion on religious grounds have no right to coerce others,” the Dean later said before questioning the Supreme Court’s legitimacy.

“As a dean and constitutional law professor, this view – and indeed the composition of the court itself, which is the product of political intrigue – raises important questions about the legitimacy of the court,” Feigman said.

On Friday, the Supreme Court overturned Rowe vs. WadeContinues dobbs Returning the issue of abortion laws and regulations to state legislatures and where the constitution does not include the right to abortion.

“On the eve of Pride weekend, the unanimous opinion of Judge Thomas in the Dobbs case highlights the extent of potential challenges to other fundamental and difficult rights, including marriage equality,” Feigman wrote in his letter.

Feigman graduated, promising to use his role as president of one of California’s most prestigious law schools to help prepare future lawyers and politicians to “combat the consequences of today’s decision.”

“UChastings is more committed than ever to its primary mission of preparing a diverse student body to advance the rule of law and deliver justice,” he wrote. “Our students are the lawyers and politicians of the future who must face the consequences of today’s decision.”

Feigman is just one of many members of the academy who were openly enraged by the life-saving Supreme Court decision.

After the verdict, college and university professors took to social media, posting chronic satires in response to the fact that there won’t be many murders after Row. America.
